Download someone else's FOSS implementation then monitor them so you know to switch away if they have the wrong opinions.

With or without superuser privileges? With superuser you can use evdev to get raw keyboard events. Without you can use xlib or xcb.

If he wants to "hook" the events that probably means he wants the event to do something and not send a keycode, which necessitates uinput probably
