NAME

xkbcli interactive-evdev — interactive debugger for XKB keymaps

SYNOPSIS

xkbcli interactive-evdev [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

xkbcli interactive-evdev is a commandline tool to interactively debug XKB keymaps by listening to /dev/input/eventX evdev devices.

xkbcli interactive-evdev requires permission to open the evdev device nodes. This usually requires being the “root” user or belonging to the “input” group.

Press the ⟨ Escape⟩ key to exit.

This is a debugging tool, its behavior or output is not guaranteed to be stable.
