So, if you want to abstract this properly, you are proposing that the
application should in some sense "bind to keyboard keys"?
That has several drawbacks:
- applications in the current universe don't do that
- it's awful overhead:
+ it apparently wouldn't have any other use than for waking up from
autosuspended mode (possibly while screensaver is running)
+ I believe that application writers will find it a little boring to
have to start all their main() functions with explicit eunumeration of
the keys the application is expecting :)
- even if we require applications to do so, there will be ones violating
this rule (i.e. kernel only knows what userspace tells him, in this
situation ... is this reliable enough?)
To sum it up -- I don't think that what you are proposing will work.
Thanks,
