 * A hardware event decoder for a hardware qwerty-ish keyboard.

 * The events are always hardware keypresses, but they can be key down or key up events, they
 * can be dead keys, they can be meta keys like shift or ctrl... This does not deal with
 * 10-key like keyboards; a different decoder is used for this.
