This directory contains a couple of services whose purpose is to handle system-wide hotkeys. There are two currently: keymon that works on input devices (keys on keyboard) and acpid which listens for ACPI events (power button, lid switch etc on PCs). Typical use for these is setting up system reboot on C-A-Del, VT switching on C-A-Fx, soft power off, sleep on lid close and so on. There is currently no special support for GPIO buttons, and it's not clear whether there should be any. Current idea for GPIO is to use gpio_keys to make them look like regular input devices, and then handle those events via keymon.
