PartKeepr did this neat thing: you could assign a key combination that caused the following text to be piped directly into the barcode decoding module. If your wedge was fancy enough, you could assign that key combo as a prefix and a CR/LF as the suffix and simply scan a barcode into any page without focusing on a text entry field. Open webpage, scan barcode, StockItem appears.

Is this the sort of thing that Django inherently supports, such that this is a super-simple "hey, great idea!" kind of feature suggestion, or more of a "No, we would have to re-write Django ground-up, take a hike," kind of thing?
