i'm not a great fan of patches that arent upstreamed, because those become my own problem. But from my understanding, this shouldnt be upstreamed since it'll go away when wscons is improved for compat with evdev, right ? Are you commiting to do that ? i've tested it with https://keyjs.dev and e.code shows the right value now for arrow keys, so it does "the right thing" (whatever that is). the .h was renamed to .inc in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2010520 so i'll have to drop/readd the patch for 149. ok with me anyway, i guess that's a quality of life improvement.. it seems the chromes have the same issue, at least in keyjs.dev.
