Turgut, I think the issue you have with the arrow keys not acting like arrows on the Q1U is because they are mapped as up = F1, down = F3, right = F10, left = F9. One way you can change this is by editing:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-misc.fdi and changing the definitions (just look for "Samsung Q1 Ultra", and the key mappings are right below that text. replace "f10" with "right", "f1" with "up", "f3" with "down", "f9" with left. But the changes will be lost the next time hal-info is updated. Another way to change the key mappings is to just run a script (as root) that does this: sudo setkeycodes e056 108 sudo setkeycodes e057 105 sudo setkeycodes e058 103 sudo setkeycodes e059 106 The nice thing about this approach is that you can make scripts that change the keys to whatever you want, and just select the one that is right for the situation (map left/right to page up/down in some cases, regular arrows for editing/terminal work, and to A/S in another for gaming). Maybe there is already a tool to do this for you. Or maybe you can do this using a custom keymap, that would be nice if possible because then you can leverage existing applications to do the switching between layouts. I am not very good with the whole scancode/key code/X keyboard mapping thing, most of my keyboard knowledge is from coding in DOS (scan codes for everything), or SDL. Hopefully someone who is knowledgeable will be able to point you to the correct answer, but I know the either the .fdi update or the setkeycodes solution will work, since I have already used them both on the Q1U. > > > Hi Oliver, > > Thanks for your replies.
