Thanks for your quick response.  I think your original code could still
come in useful from time to time.

On #614127: Unless I’m missing something, you can already use kbd_mode
(without an argument) for this purpose.  The output could be a little
more canonical, but a grep for "scancode" should do the job.

All the best,
