can I modify this function matrix_keyboard.c:103
static void matrix_keypad_scan(struct work_struct *work)
to detect the combination keys?
like:
1. if press the compose keys [RED UP POINT] just record
2. if next press the 'w'. will report '@' to OS.

if it's possible. how to report '@' to OS. 
I saw the source code is always report the keycode.

thanks for help
