12 This tool creates two Linux virtual keyboards and forwards the events
13 from a given physical keyboard to either of the two. It's possible to
14 switch the target of the redirect with a special key press.

16 This is useful when the user wants to assign a special purpose to one
17 of the keyboard while grabbing it (such as exporting the keyboard via
18 btkbdd(8)) while still retaining the local keyboard functionality on
19 his system.
20
21 The virtual keyboard have a sysfs attribute "name" set to "evmuxd
22 primary" and "evmuxd secondary" with the primary one being chosen by
23 default.
24
25 The special key used is "SCROLL LOCK".
