Detachable keyboard computer fails to log

I have a 2-in-1 computer which fails to log keys. Following the documentation of this project, I found -d event24 fixes the problem. I'm reporting this issue per documentation. /proc/bus/input/devices attached.
devices.txt

Also is there a way to pass the device # to llk script?

And unfortunately, the event # changes with every reboot. It would be nice if there was some way to figure this out. Happy to provide debug info.

After thinking about this, the solution here would be to have an option for logkeys to identify devices by-id which are persistent and don't change across boots.

So, perhaps something like

logkeys -s -d-by-id  some-device-name

Alternatively if -d can take a relative path as input that should also work. In which case it would look like:

logkeys -s -d by-id/some-device-name

where the default location is /dev/input and then it would look in by-id directory for the device by id.

I prefer the second option since it gives us the flexibility to navigate to other device locations relative to /dev/input

Some related effort expended in #161.

Alternatively if -d can take a relative path as input that should also work.

Seems only a slight adjustment needed there. PR welcome.

Absolutely, I got this working locally just last night. I'm looking at another issue where logkeys quits logging. I'm not sure what is causing it. It just issues a message that it has stopped logging. Either way, I'll open a PR soon-ish.

	std::string::size_type i = args.device.find_last_of('/');
	args.device = (std::string(INPUT_EVENT_PATH) + args.device.substr(i == std::string::npos ? 0 : i + 1));
