Needs xbindkeys installed. "livesplitandbind" and "livesplithk" should be somewhere in the PATH, .xbindkeysrc should be in the $HOME directory. xbindkeys will be terminated when livesplit is finished so you can use your insert/delete keys, etc.

May be fragile if you have LiveSplit (with that exact spelling) in other window titles e.g. a browser tab.

YMMV but for me with my Wine/Mono config the LiveSplit process becomes a zombie after closing the window, so you may want to record its PID and kill that as well.
