Protocol 0 docs

Protocol 0 is a companion app for Ableton Live. It runs a global keyboard-shortcut manager that works across all your sets, so you can keymap custom actions — load a device by name, select a track, or anything the Live API exposes.

The system is two cooperating pieces: a background detector that watches the keyboard, and a remote script that lives inside Ableton and runs the actions. They talk to each other over a small localhost HTTP API. You don't have to think about any of that to use it — but it's all here if you want to script against it.
