Re: numpad doesnt seem to send kp events in wayland

Lower-level is `read-event`: `read-key` has code to specifically
"decode" key events.  [ But I doubt it'll make a difference based on
what you posted earlier.  ]

Hmm... so what was the other session?

No comment 🙂

I'd actually suggest a bug report.

PS: You can rewrite your macro into a function.  I.e.

    (defmacro sylt-song-event-map-key (key num)
      `(define-key cider-mode-map (kbd ,key)
                   (lambda  ()
                     (interactive)
                     (cider-nrepl-sync-request:eval
                      ,(concat "(sylt.core/song-event \"" num "\")")))))

to

    (defun sylt-song-event-map-key (key num)
      (define-key cider-mode-map (kbd key)
                  (lambda  ()
                    (interactive)
                    (cider-nrepl-sync-request:eval
                     (concat "(sylt.core/song-event \"" num "\")")))))
