If you want to send commands than you must register a command fd,
not a key one. Key can be rebounds, so sending key events to get a
specific behaviour/command is wrong.
You didn't give any details about what you are trying to do exactly,
but unless you are adding support for a new kind of device, you
probaly want to use the slave mode or -input file with a fifo.
