Seems to be related to mouse detection in the function scan_for_devs ().
The if branch starting with
" if (test_bit(EV_REL, bit)) {
int i;
/* our own virtual mouse (on rescans)*/
if (id[ID_PRODUCT] == 0x1E && id[ID_VENDOR] ==
0x1F) {
close(fd);
continue;"
is never entered on my 8.1 (discovered this after suitable
instrumentation of the code in the function). As a result, no mouse is
registered as a virtual device and event_parse doesn't have a chance to
detect clicks in connection with pressing of modifier keys as it's
intended with this tool.
Don't know enough about uinput / event handling in connection with
Apple-specific hardware to investigate further. If it helps, here an
excerpt of the lsusb command:
