setkeycodes rejects it.
~# setkeycodes 15e 89
setkeycode: code outside bounds
usage: setkeycode scancode keycode ...
(where scancode is either xx or e0xx, given in hexadecimal,
and keycode is given in decimal)
I changed setkeycodes.c to add 256 instead of 128 and bumped up the
bounds checking, but it's still strange. It now works for e063, but
still doesn't work for e05e. Many other keys in the same area as 0x5e
don't work. The only one that does work that I tried is e063.
Will you be releasing an updated kbd package?

Turns out the "regular" keys I referred to really are extended keys.
