Hello, in xorgproto project in include/X11/XF86keysym.h file there are some keys for which no _EVDEVK(...) line exists. E.g. for the subtitle key there is only this line:
#define XF86XK_Subtitle 0x1008ff9a /* cycle through subtitle */
But there is no line like this:
#define XF86XK_Subtitle _EVDEVK(0x172) /* KEY_SUBTITLE */
My understanding is that the XF86keysym.h file is used to generate the "evdev" section in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/blob/master/symbols/inet ; but only lines with an _EVDEVK() entry are regarded by the generator. I want to use XKB to map some keys from infrared remote controls, to improve out-of-the-box support for remote controls in Kodi media center (for https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/16834). Since these keys are not listed in the symbols/inet file, XKB cannot map them, and therefore Kodi cannot handle them. I have now run scripts/keysym-generator.py without a --kernel-versions parameter, to generate an XF86keysym.h file that contains _EVDEVK() entries for _all_ keys, regardless of the kernel version. The script was run on a system with libevdev 1.12.1+dfsg-1 and python-libevdev 0.11. The diff to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xorgproto/-/blob/e312ab76c4d93f2e637ac0c73987b22cd43420c7/include/X11/XF86keysym.h is attached. In the diff I see that additional _EVDEVK() lines were generated for 132 keys. Would it be possible and sensible to add _EVDEVK() lines for all of these keys, so that XF86keysym.h supports all evdev keys? Alternatively, would it be possible to add _EVDEVK() lines for keys that are related to media controls? The table at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.11/userspace-api/media/rc/rc-tables.html shows which keys would be interesting. Should I just submit a merge request for one of these approaches? Thanks, Oliver Gerlich
