HOW TO BIND PREDATOR BUTTON

Problem: X11 accept only 1 byte info as keycode so its restricted to 0-255 values and if you want to bind key with keycode above 255 then you should use translator/router.

According to this page we will use evrouter from AUR:

• go to aur and grab last PKGBUILD from comments https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evrouter or take my PKGBUILD_EVROUTER and remove _EVROUTER
• Install it manually by commands:

cd YOUR_DIR_WITH_PKGBUILD
makepkg -si

Now you have evrouter installed. Now you should set rules I missed this step but it could be neccesary for you

• Add a rule to allow users to read /dev/input/event*

echo 'KERNEL=="event*", NAME="input/%k", GROUP="input" | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/80-evrouter.rules

sudo addgroup input
sudo usermod -aG input ${USER}
sudo reboot

• type evtest in terminal and find your keycode and keyboard name. Mine output: /dev/input/event3: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard So i pressed '3' and checked keycode of needed button it was 425

• Create a evrouter file config (${HOME}/.evrouterrc):

Format:
"Name of your event" "event link" none key/Number_your_key "XKey/Name_your_key"
Mine:
"AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" "/dev/input/event3" none key/425 "XKey/XF86Community"

• Look the keys free with xmodmap, eg:

    xmodmap -pke | egrep "=$"

• Create a xmodmap file config (${HOME}/.xmodmap):

    Format:
    keycode Number_key_free = Name_your_key
    Mine:
    keycode 97 = XF86Community

• Connect all things

    xmodmap ~/.xmodmap
    evrouter /dev/input/event3

• Type xev and test your key

• If all is good. Add those strings to autostart in your DM like i3wm etc.

    modmap ~/.xmodmap
    evrouter /dev/input/event3

Biggest thanks to hizo for his big job!
