Input: Hard-keys input support using libinput and weston 1.8.0

Dear All,

I have a requirement where Hard-Keys input events (e.g. Home button, Back
button, Volume buttons or Volume Rotary Knobs) needs to be injected into
weston compositor and passed to application or application can listen on
those events using wayland/weston some way.

Does weston 1.8.0 and libinput supports such kind of inputs? Or Do I need
to extend the full path of input (evdev -> libinput -> weston) to support
this? How much effort require for this?Thanks

Could you give some suggestions/ideas to start this as I am very new to
input handling? It would be also helpful if you could refer me some
docs/links to understand this?

Thanking you.

Best Regards,
Vikash
