I was looking at the keycode lists to set up the private.xml file, but the values in the documentation won't work. This may only afflict the "consumer keys", but this is what I found; in the documentation ( https://github.com/tekezo/KeyRemap4MacBook/blob/master/src/core/bridge/keycode/data/ConsumerKeyCode.data ), the codes are like this:

MUSIC_PREV 20

But the symbols required in private.xml are like this:

VK_CONSUMERKEY_MUSIC_PREV

I don't even remember where I found that definition. Overall, it's not clear when we need to use VK_* symbols or the plain ones. For example, CURSOR_LEFT works fine (it's not VK_CURSOR LEFT).
