keyword, "button" and "modetoggle" are also recognized. Multiple keywords may

+The driver can only simulate physical key events but not keysyms and
+xetwacom translates the mapping sequence into such events. Thus,
+symbols on the same physical key will generate the same event. For
+example, '1' and '!' are on the same key on a US keyboard and thus have the
+same keycode). For access to keys on a higher shift level, the sequence
+should be entered as it would be typed on a physical keyboard. For example,
+a exclamation mark is entered by the sequence of "key +shift 1 -shift".
