-- $usage
-- Add this to your handleEventHook to print received key events to the
-- log (the console if you use @startx@/@xinit@, otherwise usually
-- @~/.xsession-errors@).
--
-- >      , handleEventHook = debugKeyEvents
--
-- If you already have a handleEventHook then you should append it:
--
-- >      , handleEventHook = ... <+> debugKeyEvents
--
-- Logged key events look like:
--
-- @keycode 53 sym 120 (0x78, "x") mask 0x0 () clean 0x0 ()@
--
-- The @mask@ and @clean@ indicate the modifiers pressed along with
-- the key; @mask@ is raw, and @clean@ is what @xmonad@ sees after
-- sanitizing it (removing @numberLockMask@, etc.)
--
-- For more detailed instructions on editing the logHook see:
--
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#The_log_hook_and_external_status_bars"
