[david@first-desktop Desktop]$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/xev
/usr/bin/xev is owned by xorg-utils 7.4-4

Welcome to the forums.

There's a very useful set of tools in a package called pkgtools. One of them is named pkgfile. It allows users to search for specific programs within packages in the repos. For example, this is a search for xev and the result:

~ > pkgfile xev
extra/xorg-utils
