First and foremost: I don't have and don't want a display protocol. I am just using Linux's tty (specifically in Tiny Core Linux but I don't believe this is of significant importance)
To test if what I am trying to achieve is even possible, I looked through various libraries in all kinds of languages, most of them need a display protocol or didn't recognize modifier keys.
After a lot of searching I found the keyboard module in python (which worked after building kbd from source).
It is pretty much exactly what I was looking for, every key press is recognized, even from modifier keys (the exception is the fn key of course).
The only problem is that it is the wrong programming language. Is there any comparable module for Java that works without GUI? I am also open to hints on how one would implement such thing if there isn't any library for it.
