XKBCLI-INTERACTIVE-EVDEV(1)

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.
