I love it :)
I had great moment playing with it.
After JP Mercury has left fweelin developpement I had to admit that I 
needed to find another live looping app.
I tried sooperlooper, it's great! not as fun as fweelin but rock solid 
and efficient.

If you want to continue to use freewheeling you have to Do It Yourself, 
I wasn't able to use default key
bindings with non US keyboard you have to understand and modify 
~/.fheelin/*.xml (look at config-help.txt for the key codes and also a 
console output to see actual key code when you press a key)
It is very time consuming, but if you are a DIYer you'll have great 
moment, because you
can do many things with the XML configuration.
But IMHO you should not (unless a new dev take the lead) loose to much 
time on a unmaintained application, one day it will not work and linux 
distro maintainers will stop packaging it :(

Yes it's sad... especially because fweelin is (one of?) the best audio 
app I ever used...

nomoa.
