The bundled TS3 Linux binary dlopens libX11 and libXi and drives
XIQueryVersion/XISelectEvents/XGetEventData — XInput2 raw events, with no
trace of the RECORD extension anywhere in its tree. That is the better
choice for us too: XInput2 is core input, present on any remotely modern
server, where RECORD is a debugging extension that is sometimes disabled
or left out of the build. Both are passive, so the keystroke still
reaches the focused window either way.
XRecordInputHook stays as the fallback behind it. Raw events also explain
why TS3's hotkeys work under KWin's Wayland session despite it using no
Wayland API at all: it runs on Xwayland, and KWin's legacy X11 app
support forwards the keys.
