Dmitry, I didn't see you responses before my last response, so you can ignore it. Let me make sure I understand correctly. For reference, the button in question sends an 0xe4 scancode on press, repeated 0xea scancodes on hold, and 0xe5 on release. So, would the following make sense (KEY_TBD is may abbreviation for "key to be determinded"): - On press (0xe4), send KEY_TBD, value = 1 - On hold (0xea), send KEY_TBD, value = 2 - On release (0xe5), send KEY_TBD, value = 0 Also, is KEY_CYCLEWINDOWS intended to imply screen rotation, or something else?
