It creates an X window and thus is absolutely unsuitable for testing what your terminal recognizes / intercepts. The OP mentioned i3, an X window manager, more than once, and specifically used the phrase "terminal emulator," which usually means an X application that emulates a terminal. I agree that xev can't test exactly what your terminal receives, but it can tell you what the X server saw from the keyboard, and could provide clues as to which key combinations are or aren't getting to the applications.
