Add special key <>| about gk6x

What does it say your keyboard name is when it connects to GK6X? I assume it will be a slightly different variant to the regular layouts? The key code should be described under the relevant device here https://github.com/pixeltris/GK6X/tree/master/Build/Data/device

When connecting to GK6X I am getting this message:

Connected to device 'GK64 RGB' model:656801801 fw:v1.5

What I am looking for is (based on http://kbdlayout.info/kbdgr/scancodes+virtualkeys) scancode 56 or key OEM_10.

I don't find it in the keymaps, however other German special keys like ö,ä,ü work quite well.

If you use the official software are you able to map it how you want? I'm not seeing anything special in the data files. Unfortunately we are the mercy of how they implemented key mappings. Each key represents a "driver value" which the firmware understands and can convert to key codes to send to the computer.

The values which I have observed can be found here

GK6X/GK6X/KeyValues.cs

Line 269 in 0f9ee54

public enum DriverValue : uint

It sounds like this would key need its own "driver value" which may exist, but I'm not sure what it might be. If it doesn't exist then you're probably out of luck.

Thanks a lot for this hint! Using the original Software it worked indeed, using the "backslash" key between left shift and y. It took me ages to figure out how to assign a key.

However, when trying to apply this via

[Base,Layer1,Layer2,Layer3,FnLayer1,FnLayer2,FnLayer3]
CapsLock:Backslash

it dit not work. The KeyValue.cs file was the missing link. I found the AltBackslah - which was exactely what I was looking for.

Eventually, the following works perfectly:

[Base,Layer1,Layer2,Layer3,FnLayer1,FnLayer2,FnLayer3]
CapsLock:AltBackslash

Thanks a lot for the hint and the tool in general!

Ah yea the key naming isn't the best. There's also dumpkeys (lists keys as seen in the data files) and findkeys (prints keys as they are pressed) commands which are useful for finding key names.
