<div class=WordSection1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I can get <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xcb_test_fake_input</span>
to work just fine, when I pass it the proper keycodes as <i>per</i> <span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xev</span> and/or <span style='font-family:
"Courier New"'>xmodmap –pke</span>. I could code a mapping from keycap to
keycode based on <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xmodmap –pke</span>,
but I’m reluctant to do this: my desktop Ubuntu is using a different
mapping of keycodes to keysyms than the target system, and I don’t really
know where this difference is coming from. (So, I can have no confidence that
the target system won’t change, or that someone else’s instance of
the target system will behave like mine.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I did find some sample xlib code that uses <span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>XKeysymToKeycode</span> to turn key symbols like
XK_A and XK_TAB into xtest-compatible keycodes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there an xcb equivalent of <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>XKeysymToKeycode</span>?
Or, is there some standard file somewhere I can read at runtime to build my
mapping? Or, do I have to evaluate <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>`xmodmap
–pke`</span> and parse it for lines that map keycodes to symbols?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sorry to be so helpless! I would sure like to avoid option
#3 – it wouldn’t take all that long, but it feels really ugly.<o:p></o:p></p>
