Description Peter Hutterer 2017-11-09 04:28:30 UTC
Currently any recorded keyboard has all keycodes in it, including passwords, etc. This is risky for bug reporters. For many keycodes (qwerty...) it usually doesn't 
matter what the keycode is, we only care about the key timing, not the key event.

Proposal: a --hide-keycodes flag that converts any alphanumeric key into KEY_A in the recording. Or, like in libinput, we could make that flag the default for evemu-record and have a --show-keycodes instead for the few times it actually matters.

Particularly useful for bug 103145 when recording disable-while-typing interactions with evemu.
Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2018-05-28 23:45:33 UTC
Closing this one, libinput-record will be part of libinput 1.11 and it takes over from evemu-record with a more flexible file format.
