I didn't mention that my test bash script has +7000 events :-) I
understand that one "block" of events is not visible, I just expected
even a single event to appear in `libinput debug-events`.

But I understand that I need to send "complete" and well-formed events in
order to be understood and detected.

My end goal is simply to mimick a mouse using a keyboard, so it will
probably make more sense to send EV_REL events.

Ah great, that's a great resource. I will experiment more with a proper
library, I am using bash just for testing.

Thank you so much for the tips and for the fantastic work on libinput!

Cheers,
