;). Because this is a hack I meant some keycode in range 0 to 8
which is not used/reserved so normal Xserver keymap is from
code 9 (XK_Escape) to code 117(XK_Menu) and all additional keycodes
will be > 117. Anyway it seems to be no problem because we
could read the actual Xserver keymap, use an unbound keycode and
generate its press and release event. There is no keysym bound to
this keycode so it should not harm currently working app.
