X11-Keyboard
============
Simple X11 keyboard input module.
There doesn't appear to be any way of getting decent keybaord input within Node that specifies things like the keyRelease event.
This module creates a dummy X11 window and attaches a keyboard listener to it so you can extract detailed keyboard information.
It inherits the generic Node [EventEmitter](http://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_events_eventemitter) class so you can use all the normal callback functions like `on()`, `off()`, `once()` etc.
Examples
--------
var keyboard = new require('./app.js');
keyboard.on('key.down:a', function() {
console.log('A key pressed');
});
keyboard.on('key.up:a', function() {
console.log('A key released');
});
keyboard.on('key.up:ctrl+b', function() {
console.log('Ctrl+B pressed');
});
