Check the autocompletion of the GUI for possible values. You can also
obtain a complete list of possiblities using `key-mapper-control --symbol-names`.
The available symbols depend on the environments keyboard layout. For example,
mapping a key to an exclamation mark is not possible if the keyboard layout is set
to german. However, it is possible to mimic the combination that would be required
to write it, by writing `Shift_L + 1` into the mapping. This is because key-mapper
creates a new virtual keyboard and injects numeric keycodes (with the benefit of being
compatible to all display servers).
The available symbols depend on the environments keyboard layout, and only those that
don't require a combination to be pressed can be used without workarounds (so most
special characters need some extra steps to use them). This is because key-mapper
acts like a keyboard device. Furthermore, if your configured keyboard layout doesn't
support the special character at all (not even via a combination), then it also won't
be possible for key-mapper to map that character at all.

Key names that start with `KEY_` are keyboard layout independent constants that might
not result in the expected output. For example using `KEY_Y` would result in "z"
