The today posts about kbmaps reminded of my plan to write one for
german keyboards.
I've finished that so far, but there is one button which I don't know
the scan code of.
It doesn't produce a character. It seems as if it produces a scan code
which isn't used by us keyboards (and is mapped to 0x0 obviously).
Is there a way (other than trial and error) to determine the scan code
of the button?

the way i did this, 'cos i knew next to nothing about scan codes,
was to modify the keyboard driver to spit scan codes. once
i undertood what was going on i loaded up various maps to
figure out the weird ones.
iirc the codes go linearly, left to right, but there are some suprises.

This button was one of those surprises. ;-|
It sends 86 although its 'neighbours' send 43 and 44.
(Finally, trial and error was the quickest way for me)
