Hello, Came somebody have a look at this? The need is real, the only question that comes to my mind is whether notifiers are allowed to modify the param they are given. Since they are not marked const, I'd guess it'd be ok?
The notifier code doesn't care.
Make kbd_keycode() read param.value after calling the keyboard notification chain, to let the callee change the translation on the fly. This for instance permits to remap the physical positions of the keys independently of the configured keymap, for e.g. single-handed people.
Surely that is just a new keymap ?
