I've just finished writing an essay where I talk about my recent experiments with X and managing keyboard events. If you've had similar experiences or have any thoughts to share that could help clarify things even more, I'd really like to hear your thoughts.

You might find this interesting. I skip the X layer and just access linux device events directly, in Ruby here:

I have just read your README.md file and found your repo interesting indeed. The README is well written. I knew it was possible to read and parse /dev/input/* files, but was hesitant to get into the intricacies you described.

Anyway, great job sir! Now I will read your code out of curiosity :)

Glad to hear it! Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. You can make issues on the repo for anything that is confusing.
