Linux Hyper Key

[SevereOverfl0w]

Linux has a native hyper key code. Would it be possible to reference this somehow from this firmware? I already have mappings in place using it, and it's somewhat simpler in places.

Do you know which one it is? If you don't, do you know the position of the key Linux recognizes as Hyper on a traditional keyboard?

Looks like it's e068? Or, escaped 0x68 (scancode)

Hyper is all on the OS's side - I don't think there's any way to map it natively, but you can stick in KC_MENU or something similar to be redefined in xmodmap or the equivalent for your distro.

Scancodes and keycodes are different, but you could try sticking in 0x68 (KC_F13 I believe) to see what happens on your system.

http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf Page ~58. No reference to hyper in here.

I've had a look through the file /usr/include/linux/input.h and it's include, and it doesn't look like there is any reference to hyper in there.

XFree86 keycode:

    // Other codes never generated.  The XFree86 ddx never generates
    // these codes.
    // Thus we can use them as fake keys
    <HYPR> =   128; // <U80>

So I guess it's a fake key implemented at one of the keyboard layers after the fact. I think it's xfree86 (X.org) layer, but I'm not sure.

Regardless, this can be closed.
