Would be awesome to map alt codes directly. And/or Unicodes.

I understand the limitations of USB keyboard protocol. So ability to map a key to a sequence of values in the firmware would be a great workaround.

Contact Truely Ergonomic. They have source code and may be able to improve their firmware.

But I doubt they can meet your requests. They failed to provide their hyped keyboard program tool themselves and copied Yuri's this great hack tool on their site in the end :D Shameless!
I hope Yuri get paid greately from them.

@sizur and everyone who will find this ticket and want to “me-too” it:

Unicode would be theoretically possible but this requires support of the usage page 10h from the operating system. Linux, for example, does not have such support; as for other systems, I just don’t know.

As for Alt+keypad codes, this is an input technique limited to Windows and to the union of ANSI and OEM code pages, so I don’t see the point of supporting it directly.

In my opinion, all such non-universal use cases can be covered by the macro engine.

@tmk: Truly Ergonomic have integrated my work from my permission and with my active coöperation, don’t badmouth them.
