Check this section: HID Keyboard and Keypad Page (0x07)
In the column Android Key Code Name, it is KEYCODE_<function>.

For an example,

KEYCODE_POWER

Good post.

If you can, post how to remap the "G"/"search button" for other functions, like "lock/unlock", "app switch"

does your explanation for CM10 also work for CM10.1?
