Hello
This is probably not related to TDE, but Linux in general (Debian 8?).
I have a multimedia PS/2 keyboard "BTC 9001" (evtest reports it as
"AT Translated Set 2 keyboard") and I try to use all its keys. Some are
typical multimedia keys, while I program some other to launch
applications in my TDE using "Keyboard actions" panel. Unfortunately
not all keys are detected in OS by scancodes. Two keys generate only a
EV_MSC event, while not giving scancode.
Is it possible, by e.g. udev hwdb rule, to assign scancodes to these
events?
Here are results of evtest events test:

The keys pressed are: Return key released, A, then "Search"
custom key which works, then "Manual" and "Panel" keys (these two
don't work - no scancode), then ctrl-C to stop evtest.
