keybinding - definitions ?

[notgernot]

I have xdotools installed

when making my button layout in .shuttle-go.json i come across some weired (or at least for me unclear behaviours).

i tried to keep the keynames from ym local /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h (but found out that you made them availeable wihout the XK_ trough the definitions.go)

interesting is that sometimes it needs the XK_ to make the button work sometimes not,...and i do not understand the pattern behind it........do you have any idea ?......i use a german keyboardlayout on my keayboard if that plays any role in that..
here are some bindings i trie with a comment if they wok or not

            "bindings": {

                "F1": "XF86AudioMute //works",
                "F2": "Micmute // doesnt work",
                "M1+F2": "Control+Shift+F12 //Bildschirm aus // works",
                "F3": "XF86MonBrightnessDown //works",
                "F4": "XF86MonBrightnessUp //works",
                "M1+F1": "XF86AudioMedia // doesnt work",
    
                "F5": "XF86AudioRewind // doesnt work",
                "F6": "XF86AudioPrev // doesnt work",
                "F7": "PlayPause //Play oder XF86AudioPlay // doesnt work",
                "F8": "NextSong // XF86AudioNext // both do not work",
                "F9": "Forward // XF86XKAudioForward // both do not work",
                
                "M1": "ScrollDown // doesnt work",
                "M2": "XK_Scroll_Up/D // doesnt work",

                "B1": "Control+F10 //Fenster aller Arbeitsflächen zeigen //works",
                "B2": "Control+Shift+y // Zwischenablage anzeige //works",
                "B3": "Control+Shift+Tab // zwischen Aktivitäten wechseln //works",
                "B4": "Control+Shift+d // Desktop anzeigen //works",
       
                "B3+F2": "XF86MonBrightnessUp // works",
                "B3+F1": "XF86MonBrightnessDown // works",

                "JogL": "XF86AudioLowerVolume // leiser // works",
                "JogR": "XF86AudioRaiseVolume // lauter // works",

                "S-7": "shift+Left // fastrewind in sayonara // works",
                "S-1": "Control+minus // zoomout //works",
                "S1": "Control+plus // zoomin // doesnt work",
                "S7": "shift+Right // fastforward in sayonara // works"
            }
        },

Via the Shuttlo-go debugging all the Buttons show the "right" xdotool key definitions
interesting is that if i try xev | grep --line-buffered keysym
only the shuttle-buttons that work correct get printed

    state 0x0, keycode 36 (keysym 0xff0d, Return), same_screen YES,
    state 0x0, keycode 173 (keysym 0x1008ff16, XF86AudioPrev), same_screen YES,
    state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff3e, XF86AudioRewind), same_screen YES,
    state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff3e, XF86AudioRewind), same_screen YES,
    state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES,
    state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES,
    state 0x0, keycode 121 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute), same_screen YES,
    state 0x0, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,

pressing for expample

                "M1": "ScrollDown // doesnt work",
                "M2": "XK_Scroll_Up/D // doesnt work",

does not print anything with xev | grep --line-buffered keysym

I guess my understanding and basic knowledge is on the Limit here.
So i say Thanks for some Support

Ok, i got a bit deeper into it
The interesting thing (for me at least) i found out ist that the following key-binding-names work (or if in the comment //doesnt work)

? what i do not understadn is that the names that work are not similar to the binding-name in my usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h
for example.: in my usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h

#define XF86XK_AudioLowerVolume	0x1008FF11   /* Volume control down        */
#define XF86XK_AudioMute	0x1008FF12   /* Mute sound from the system */
#define XF86XK_AudioRaiseVolume	0x1008FF13   /* Volume control up          */
#define XF86XK_AudioPlay	0x1008FF14   /* Start playing of audio >   */
#define XF86XK_AudioStop	0x1008FF15   /* Stop playing audio         */
#define XF86XK_AudioPrev	0x1008FF16   /* Previous track             */
#define XF86XK_AudioNext	0x1008FF17   /* Next track                 */

the difference is in most cases a missing XK_ in the names

                "F1": "XF86AudioMute //works",
                "F2": "Control+Shift+F6 // XF86XK_AudioMicMute //Micmute // doesnt work",

                "F3": "XF86MonBrightnessDown //works",
                "F4": "XF86MonBrightnessUp //works",
                "M1+F1": "XF86AudioMedia // doesnt work",
    
                "F5": "Alt+Left // XF86XK_AudioRewind // XF86AudioRewind // doesnt work",
                "F6": "XF86AudioPrev // works",
                "F7": "XF86AudioPlay // works",
                "F8": "XF86AudioNext // works",
                "F9": "Alt+Right // XF86XKAudioForward //Forward // XF86XKAudioForward // doesnt work",
                
                "B3+F2": "XF86MonBrightnessUp // works",
                "B3+F1": "XF86MonBrightnessDown // works",

                "JogL": "XF86AudioLowerVolume // leiser // works",
                "JogR": "XF86AudioRaiseVolume // lauter // works",

Ok, i think i got it even tough i do not fully understand it

#### `xdotool` (default)

The key names to use in the X11 bindings are found here:
https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/keysymdef.h or you can view them
locally in `/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h` (stripped of the `XK_`
prefix).

XK_ gets stripped,......but there is nothing said about usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h

still scroll up or down does not work ?
any ideas
