Crashes when using Define Foot Pedal Codes

Okay, I found it under 'Key names available in X11', it should be entered
as 'Page_Down' ...

Thanks again.

Okay, was able to do it using the remapping instructions and creating the
.hwdb file.

I would like to set one of the pedals to Page Down, but I'm not sure
exactly how to type that. Using your list under "Keymap List when
re-mapping keys for a foot pedal", it says you can use 'pagedown', but when
I try that (using 'key' as the type), I get an error message saying, "No
such keyname, ignoring it."

How can I find out what signifies 'page down' and other keys?

Thanks for your help.

1. Define foot pedal codes is a tricky beast, as it is only listening
   to the device that you have nominated as your pedal (/dev/input/event3 for
   example), so once you have clicked into the 'Left Pedal' box you must only
   press the foot pedals. Any mouse clicking or keyboard entry just messes up,
   as the program is only reading the pedal device.
2. evtest (in the documentation)
   If you don't currently have the 'evtest' package installed, install
   it and then run:
   sudo evtest
   on the command line.
   It will allow you to identify the /dev/input/event(x) which belongs
   to your pedal.
   Select the correct option:
   Once the initial flurry of output is done, start pressing the pedals
   and see what codes are being transmitted by your pedal.
   Also check that you have the correct /dev/input/event(n) set in the
   HID device in footcontroller Tools->Configure.
   Let me now, how you get on.
   N.B. the documentation is reasonably exhaustive with respect to
   defining the foot pedal and issues you may come across.

  Crashes when using Define Foot Pedal Codes*

I'm using the Microdia foot pedal, and installed the package with gdebi
on my Linux Mint 17.3 machine, no problem. However, assignments I'm making
for the pedals via Define Pedal Sets aren't doing anything. When I try to
verify or set up the pedal using Define Foot Pedal Codes, it crashes. In
fact, as soon as I click on one of the boxes (labeled Left Pedal, etc), the
program freezes, I can't even x out. Eventually, an error notice comes up,
"FootController is not responding. You may choose to wait a short while for
it to continue or force the application to quit entirely." Waiting does
nothing, so I have to Force Quit.

Please help. Thanks!
