Sure and I consider to be a good alternative, but it looks to me
like being another workaround, it is fine for particular exceptions
that need a few remappings, but it should not be the rule, the
driver extension. That's why I was asking about this change.
what is a better solution? having keymaps for every different layout
that Sony implemented throught the years
This is a wrong assumption: the layout never really changed "recently"
(I mean, at least 4-5 years, or even more), is still the same since a
long time (and it's very likely to stay the same), Sony is just adding
keys. For example, there are models with the Zoom In key (Fn-F10), but
no Zoom Out (Fn-F9), but on those models Fn-F9 do not generate
"scancodes". The same goes, for example, for newer models where the
Fn-F1 key (Touchpad toggle) is now present. The hotkeys layout is now
stable enough to be used as the default one for every model, causing no
problems at all (very old models will continue to work through the udev
keymaps already in place - well, just one, because module-sony would no
longer be necessary -).
To answer your question: to me, it looks much better having a single
real input driver mapping the right keys for everybody instead of having
a fake layout plus a userspace keymap (because just a single keymap is
needed).
