TAB, Delete, and Alt + TAB combo do not work in KDE????
Open Suse Tumbleweed RedDragon Keyboard model K551-KR First time SUSE user! When hitting the tab key or trying to invoke ALT + TAB, or hitting the delete key above the arrow keys to delete a email in Evolution, nothing happens. Why do those keys not work on a fresh install of openSUSE? ================== Thanks, Chris Please send all off list messages to chris@cwm030.com

No, I am letting you know what keys are not working to see if it could be a keyboard layout problem in KDE's control panel or something else? I just bought this keyboard last week. All of the other keys are working fine. ================= Thanks, Chris Please send all off list emails to Chris@CWM030.com

And other keys work? Then replace the keyboard. No need to use sudo, by the way. Use it in the (text) console. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.3 (Legolas))

No. The person answering you response is using “reply-all” which sends a copy to you AND the list which results in you getting a copy from the list and another copy sent direct to your personal email address. Ken

No, not your problem. I failed to remove your address from the 'To:' list.

I stated the wrong reason for replies not being addressed correctly to the list. No list mails are 'From:' the list, so a regular reply would normally *not* go to list.

Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2013 10:43:10 +0000 From: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org To: robin.listas@... Subject: FAQ - Frequently asked questions of the opensuse@opensuse.org list. Q1. Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list? A1. We do not "munge" the mail headers by inserting a "Reply-To: opensuse@opensuse.org" because it makes it more difficult subscribers to handle the mail the way they want to. Your mail client probably has a "reply" function as well as a "reply to all" or "reply to list" one; Please use the latter if you want you message to go to the list and not just to the original poster. Also, please don't complain about this on the list, it has been discussed many, many, many times in the past already. For background information see e.g. http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html I had somewhere an identical answer a decade older, but not in this laptop :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

So you have two keyboards and they both show the same symptoms? And those symptoms were first noticed in Evolution but actually apply uniformly everywhere and are easy to reproduce using showkey? You haven't said what version of openSUSE you are using, or what your hardware is but this sounds like either a hardware problem or a hardware-related one (i.e. driver). So details of exactly what you are using would be helpful. especially the exact name of the kernel uname -a So possible things to try: - do either of the keyboards work properly when plugged into a different system? - have you rebooted your system? If not, please do so. Does it work? - have you booted your system with a different OS? Either another version of openSUSE kernel, or another Linux (perhaps on a USB stick), or even Windows. Do they work?

Chris, have you tried the other things I suggested? It would be nice if you would answer all the questions.
I thought that I did in the last email?
I presume you look at your mail in a threaded view. If you look carefully at the mail sequence and compare which mail I responded to and what you had posted at that time (i.e. Patrick's post at 13:02 UTC) you will see that you had not given it all. I admit I hadn't noticed you had said tumbleweed.
I gave you the uname info, that I am on tumbleweed, KDE, Yes i've rebooted, Yes i've tried the keyboard on another machine. Connected another wireless keyboard to this pc the Logitech K520 and the tab key is working.
You have now anyway :) Mostly. That is you have not rebooted your initial machine with a different OS (older linux kernel, BSD, whatever)

Good for you, so am I. So to summarise what I think you've said so far. You have two wired keyboards that don't work on the machine in question. At least one (both?) doesn't work on a different machine either. You have a wireless keyboard that does work on the machine in question. If both don't work then it seems you are extremely unlucky and have two faulty keyboards. Which kind of pushes Occam as far as he can be pushed. If the other does work, then we have an even more complicated situation. Do you have any wired keyboard that works on the machine in question?

No, I look at them by the timestamps in a unthreaded view

No, the new corded keyboard, the tab key doesn't work. But, with this wireless Logitech KB, the tab key works. Luckily I haven't had the new KB long ( about a week), so I am hoping to be able to RMA it.

First time SUSE user!
When hitting the tab key or trying to invoke ALT + TAB, or hitting the delete key above the arrow keys to delete a email in Evolution, nothing happens.
This is a bit late and may not be related, but some time ago I did fix a similar problem with another Redragon Keyboard via a kernel patch, see [1]. Perhaps this is the same for you? Thanks, Robert [1]: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hid/hid-redragon.c
