QMK Programmable Buttons and HID Telephony Device Page?

Post by sirksel » 31 Jul 2022, 02:49

I'm noticing that QMK firmware (used by many for their custom keyboards) now will send PROGRAMMABLE_BUTTON_1 to PROGRAMMABLE_BUTTON_32, allegedly using the HID telephony device page. The advantage seems to be that these rarely/never conflict with any existing Win or application definition... kind of like F13-24, but even less likely to be in use.

I don't think I'm able to see these keys in the keylist. I don't know if there's a way to look for a very raw key like this. I understand a lot of keyboard manufacturers use these codes for custom keys as well (for macros to be defined on the host computer drivers, and often using proprietary drivers). Is there any support for this today (even if it involves raw processing in a script), or might it be a possible future addition to the key table?

I understand the universe between AHK users and custom keyboard programmers might not be that large. :)
