The X11 compositor currently posts its key presses as keycode - 8; this
is due to X11 having a historical minimum keycode of 8, whereas evdev is
numbered starting from 1. So while the KEY_* constants begin with
KEY_ESC at 1, the corresponding keycode in both X11 and the XKB keymaps
is 9.
window, on the other hand, was relying on xkb->min_key_code being 8 to
translate its keycodes back to useful values in the XKB 'evdev' keycode
map. min_key_code may not always be 8, for restricted subsets of the
keycode map.
Perhaps not the best solution, but at least consistent.
