Key pressed event missed due to multiple keycodes for one keysym

[Lieunoir]

I had trouble making the deamon react to a key press from XF86AudioPlay coming from a bluetooth headset, due to this keysym have multiple codes associated (had 172 by default and the headset sent a 208).

It seems the reason is the same as described here : electron/electron#2210 , in short XKeyGrab is only used with code 172 thus code 208 aren't registered.

I manually added a XKeyGrab for the code 208 and it worked, but I haven't found a more elegant solution (not really familiar with Xlib). I have seen people use xbindkeys to detect key pressed event with this code and map it to send a XF86AudioPlay key pressed event with xdotool, maybe lefthk could also have some way to configure keys by code?

@Lieunoir I'd like to replicate your setup (both failing and working) because I want to support multiple combos -> one action on my system. Could you share any files you changed with before/after states?
