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:

don't work - no scancode), then ctrl-C to stop evtest.

Hi!
I suggest you use "xbindkeys" for things like this, 'cause TDE hotkey
management is somewhat 'interesting'. For example, I cannot bind
<windows>+<up|down> to move to the next desktop. With xbindkeys it works:
# ~/.xbindkeysrc
#WIN+UP
"dcop twin KWinInterface previousDesktop"
m:0x40 + c:111
Mod4 + Up
#WIN+DOWN
"dcop twin KWinInterface nextDesktop"
m:0x40 + c:116
Mod4 + Down
#MOUSE BUTTON8
"dcop twin KWinInterface nextDesktop"

Hi
I tried it, but when there is no scancode, the event is not passed
further so there is no keycode. Xbindkeys works on keycodes which are
derived from scancodes (coming from keyboard driver?).

Hi!
If I remember correct, it's the keycode you need, not the scancode. Here's a
tutorial: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/extra_keyboard_keys
Maybe you sould try "xev" (that's what I use, anyway).

Maybe you sould try "xev" (that's what I
use, anyway).
Xev doesn't detect if there's no scancode.
Problem fixed by using setkeycodes instead of udev hwdb rules. I used
setkeycodes method from the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Map_scancodes_to_keycodes
mapping scancodes 0xA5 and 0xA6 to free keycodes, and it returns me a
keycode, so I can use any configuration tool, TDE panel works well
now.
The strange thing is that mapping the same scancodes to keycodes by
udev hwdb rules maps the keycodes... but not to the keys pressed, yet
to my "Previous song" and "Stop" multimedia keys!
No idea what's going on, sticking with setkeycodes.
