I use a very old Gateway 2000 programmable keyboard made by AnyKey, circa 1992, which was made before win keys were on keyboards.
I want to change one of the "extra" keys to function as the win key. The key to change reports from xev:
KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0xa400001, root 0x29e, subw 0x0, time 195870622, (1244,164), root:(1244,189), state 0x0, keycode 63 (keysym 0xffaa, KP_Multiply), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2a) "*" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2a) "*" XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0xa400001, root 0x29e, subw 0x0, time 195870686, (1244,164), root:(1244,189), state 0x0, keycode 63 (keysym 0xffaa, KP_Multiply), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2a) "*" XFilterEvent returns: False
showkey reports: keycode 55 press keycode 55 release
the win key reports from xev:
KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001, root 0x2b9, subw 0x0, time 200945745, (-538,353), root:(555,382), state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001, root 0x2b9, subw 0x0, time 200945858, (-538,353), root:(555,382), state 0x40, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
showkey reports: keycode 125 press keycode 125 release
What should I do?
I guess I had better substitute another key-combination as the key I intended is the same key-code as two other keys on this keyboard :( tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
