I've came across this site:
http://als.regnet.cz/evrouter-gtk2-focus-patch.html
And tested patch provided there against 0.4 version and it still work.
Now evrouter correctly catch any GTK2 window titles.

Hey I'm trying to configure this MCE Remote (Arc-1100) it's a MCE Clone, using a USBHID mouse/keyboard combo, evrouter reads the keys great, and I can configure a bunch of the keys to work with XBMC however, some of the buttons on the remote, generate more then one line, and I've read the man pages for evrouter and it doesn't seem to cover multiple lines for one keypress. Unless I'm an idiot and don't fully understand, how would I work something (Yellow button on remote) that generates these three lines, send something like a single "Xkey/p" Action

"HID 05a4:9881" "/dev/input/event5" control key/29 "fill this in!"
"HID 05a4:9881" "/dev/input/event5" shift+control key/42 "fill this in!"
"HID 05a4:9881" "/dev/input/event5" shift+control key/20 "fill this in!"

patch for SW (switch) events are really good thing. thanks.

Would you know why I am getting this X error ?
I am lacking a lot in terms of X principles, but my app (xbmc) is launched in fullscreen and directly from .xinit; SDL in fullscreen seems to grab everything => nothing goes to xbindkeys.
I am trying through evrouter, but no luck:

~$ DISPLAY=:0 evrouter -d -v /dev/input/event3 
device  0: /dev/input/event3: Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver
Display name: :0

evtest on the same device works correctly and reports the event code.

First of all, thanks for your very useful program!

I'm using the gyration air music remote on Ubuntu 9.04 with evrouter 0.4, trying to get it to work with Miro. The remote correctly outputs XF86 commands correctly on all keys, it's just that Miro doesn't seem to care about them.

So I have tried to use evrouter to get around this, Miro has keyboard shortcuts for commands, e.g. stop is ctrl-d.

I have successfully remapped some keys, like pause now is space, which works fine. Unfortunately some keys, like stop and play don't output keypress commands when remapped in evrouter; they only output keyrelease commands!

For example, this happens when I hit play (tried to remap it to ctrl-d in evrouter)

KeymapNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0x76, subw 0x0, time 2055771, (150,400), root:(157,451),
state 0x4, keycode 40 (keysym 0x64, d), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (04) ""
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0x76, subw 0x0, time 2055771, (150,400), root:(157,451),
state 0x4, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

Is there a way to make it output a keypress event as well? It's a really weird bug, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it.

Thanks!

Hi,

No matter what I try this always ignores the modmap setting.

Whether I use:

"Logitech USB Receiver" "/dev/input/event4" alt rel/8/1 "XKey/Tab"

or

"Logitech USB Receiver" "/dev/input/event4" none rel/8/1 "XKey/Tab"

or

"Logitech USB Receiver" "/dev/input/event4" any rel/8/1 "XKey/Tab"

It always matches whether I press a modifier or not.

Thanks.

This program is just great. It's the only program that can access all my netbook keys and still capture them when some app is running fullscreen. There is no other program that can do this so it rocks!

I have Ubuntu 8.10, downloaded and installed latest evrouter deb package. But "sudo evrouter -d /dev/input/event1" shows only the name of keyboard, but no button press is dumped.

I have found thread confirming that:

but maybe I am doing something wrong?
