Help with Remapping Key 49 on German Keyboard Layout

[karu.pruun]

Can you run a quick test to see if libinput sees the key being
pressed? You need the package 'libinput' installed. In terminal:

% libinput debug-events

And then press keys. Also open another terminal so you can kill
libinput when you're done.

If libinput does not see anything, then the actual driver does not see
the key being pressed; then it's a question how to make the driver
detect the event.
