@davidrevoy Yes it can, I have mapped it to E key. The only issue I found that it is hard to map Ctrl N since input remapper captures this as a shortcut for itself to create a new shortcut entry scheme :) so it drops your exisiting changes when you press Ctrl N and creates new list of entries :P. May be worth filing a bug with input remapper but I did not have time to check it out further.
@raghukamath Thank you for the feedback and confirming, I had a vague souvenir input-remapper was indeed capable of this.
I'll retest it and update the blog post, this is a very useful information. 👍
(and haha for Ctrl+N. I had the same issue with running evtest ; the Ctrl+Shift+Z (w because of azerty here) button was triggering the "Close Session" of Konsole here. Impossible to get the MSC scan code of the key without configuring the shortcut of Konsole. 😆)
