The reason I am asking is that we added all > KEY_WIMAX and so on defines but I am not usre if anyone wants them. KEY_WIMAX may not be used a lot because there is not a lot of device with such a key, I think this is not the case for KEY_WIRELESS_CYCLE. The bad thing is that we will need to patch X11 (and Qt, for kde/solid) to make it works.
