I am using qjoypad, a program which can map physical controller (joystick) buttons to sending fake keyboard/mouse events, via xtest fake key events. Virtually any program - from games, through electron application (discord) to terminal or text editors can detect keys pressed via this method. After all, it is pretty low level (xserver level)
Sadly, LinVAM doesn't react at all to PushToListen key mapped this way. In fact, it seems to ignore any way of faking key events - xdotool or ydotool ones included. It reacts only to physical keyboard press. Seems that it bypasses X in this regard?
It would be great of it would listen to PushToListen bind a little bit less... Low level, to allow any sensible way of mapping the key we want it to listen too, executed via device of preference.
