kbhell (short for keyboard hell) is a Windows and Linux desktop application

which plays a audio soundbite everytime a user releases a key. The best part is

that the kbhell application does not need to be in the focused window (or in a

window at all) for it to play sound. You can launch kbhell in the background of

your unsuspecting friend's PC and watch them lose their mind.

### Program Usage

Program usage is as follows:

```text

Annoy everyone around you by playing noises everytime you press a key.

Usage: kbhell 

Arguments:

    audio file to play on keypress

Options:

  -h, --help     Print help

  -V, --version  Print version

```

You must give kbhell a audio file to play on key release. Shorter soundbites

work best. You can find a sample quacking duck WAV under

`kbhell/sounds/quack.wav`. There's plenty of [free use WAV files][1] online. Any

audio file format supported by the default configuration of the [rodio][2] crate

is supported.

To terminate kbhell, press the escape (`ESC`) key anywhere on the desktop.
