Notes

  • The keyboard driver converts the obscure key codes from the keyboard into standard keycodes. Handling the functionality of the keys is up to the user.
    • For example, link the BrightnessUp / BrightnessDown keyboard symbol to light utility or xbacklight to control brightness using the keys.
