General discussion • Re: I'm baffled by evdev, keys, keycodes can someone help

but in pyinput it only shows up as <269025048>

In hex that is 0x1008ff18, which corresponds to XF86XK_HomePage in /usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h.

So I guess "pyinput" is reading via the GUI and using XKB symbols instead of the kernel keycodes you get with evtest (/usr/include/linux/input-event-codes.h).

Do you need to remap the key, or find a way to respond to the code? How did you install and use "pyinput"?
