This should be a raw string.
r'\e': _display.keysym_to_keycode(Xlib.XK.string_to_keysym('Escape')),Use r'\e' instead of '\e'.

Pretty sure not.
The string for the escape key is esc (see higher in the list). This meant to use a special character, but \e does not resolve to anything in Python.
There are no strings in the mapping actually starting with a raw \.

Please read ruff rule W605 and run ruff check --select=W605 --fix on that file.

I'm aware of how raw strings work, thank you.
I'm telling you I don't think r"\e" or "\\e" was a correct entry in the first place.
