# The keycodes on a PC are usually:
#
# Left Shift = 42
# Left Ctrl = 29
# Left Alt = 56
# Right Alt = 100
# Right Ctrl = 97
# Right Shift = 54
#
# Mute = 113
# Volume Down = 114
# Volume Up = 115
# Eject = 161
#
# The LED codes on a PC are usually:
#
# Num Lock = 0
# Caps Lock = 1
# Scroll Lock = 2


# Some simple examples
114:key::echo volume.down press
114:rep::echo volume.down repeat
114:rel::echo volume.down release

56+114:::echo left.alt+volume.down press


# Use the `mute' key as a 'function' key
113:key:ungrabbed,grab:echo keyboard grab
113:rel:grabbed,ungrab:echo keyboard ungrab

# This allows the `a' key to be binded to a command
# To use: press mute, press a, release in any order
113+30::grabbed:echo alpha

# Same thing with the `b' key
113+48::grabbed:echo beta


# Act if any of the `a'/`b'/`c' keys match
30,48,46::any:echo A/B/C

# Act if both the `alt' and `f' keys match - ignore the other keys
56+33::all:echo alt+f+...


# A real world example...
# When the `eject' key is pressed, wait for one of the `e'/`m'/`u' keys:
161::ungrabbed,grab,noexec,ignrel:
161:rel:grabbed,noexec:

# The `e' key : eject
161+18::grabbed:echo eject
161+18:rel:grabbed,noexec,ungrab,rcvrel,allrel:

# The `m' key : mount
161+50::grabbed:echo mount
161+50:rel:grabbed,noexec,ungrab,rcvrel,allrel:

# The `u' key : umount
161+22::grabbed:echo umount
161+22:rel:grabbed,noexec,ungrab,rcvrel,allrel:

# Any other key escapes this mode
161::grabbed,all,noexec:
161:rel:grabbed,all,noexec,ungrab,rcvrel,allrel:


# Produce an `a' key press and release whenever
# the `left.ctrl'+`volume.up' keys are pressed
29+115::key(30),rel(30),noexec:


# Pressing the `1' key switches on the first LED (usually the Num Lock LED)
2::ledon(0),noexec:

# Pressing the `0' key switches it off
11::ledoff(0),noexec:


# This entry is triggered by any key press or release
# that has not matched with one of the entries above
