There are scenarios where one would want to inject a keycode into the
event handler chain, restart the processing from scratch, but with a
keycode different than what the lookup would normally yield. For
example, with one-shot modifiers, a feature one may wish is to be able
to turn the one-shotness off, and have them act as normal modifiers.
This is easily done, if we can remove the one-shot markup, and let the
event handler process the resulting code as-is.
This makes that possible: in a custom event handler, just call
handle_key_event() with the first argument set to the desired code, and
the rest left unchanged. This makes it possible to inject events: not
just register keycodes with the HID, but inject synthetic events,
something much more powerful.
