when i remap a key event on my touch pen, it works in the tty, but doesnt seem to work in a wayland compositor(i tried hyprland and sway). it is still registered by evtest and wev as the right key event, but applications seem to ignore it.

ok, so apparently different programs report different input events for the same action. some report BTN_STYLUS and some report TABLET_TOOL_BUTTON. since the first only works in the tty and i can't remap the second using this, i'm not sure what to do

if run with the EVREMAP_LOG=trace envvar, it also display the right key event both for input and output.

Sounds like an issue outside the scope of evremap, sorry!
