Possible Alternative to "The Button", A Tiny Remote

I got some 6 button Media control and Shutter button bluetooth key-fob remotes some time ago, they pair as wireless keyboards.
Just need a bit of code to make keystrokes call scripts.

These seem like enough buttons to cycle through MODEP presets for a music set, using the modep-btn-scripts lib.
bypass_pedalboard.sh
next_pedalboard.sh
prev_pedalboard.sh
switch_pedalboard.sh (Might select preset #1)

(Leaves 1 or 2 buttons free for other actions)

The remote outputs on my “Smart Lens Wireless Shutter & Remote
(matching standard computer keyboard buttons)

Function . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ASCII
VolumeDown . . . . . . . . . . . 174 The volume down key.
VolumeUp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 175 The volume up key.
MediaNextTrack . . . . . . . . 176 The media next track key.
MediaPreviousTrack . . . . . 177 The media previous track key.
MediaPlayPause . . . . . . . . 179 The media play pause key.
Shutter . . . Carriage Return 13 Camera Icon
Bluetooth Device Name “Tzumi Musicshutter”

.Note the media control keys codes are non-printable characters, a minor complication.

Have you already written the scripts for that?
