Hi everyone,
since there have been a couple of messages related to using xev and
mapping the keyboard, I wonder if anyone knows if there is a special
situation regarding the windowskey and the rightclickmenu key, (keys
courtesy of Microsoft I'm sure...)
In xev I found my windows key has keycode 115 and my rightclickmenu key
has keycode 117. However, when I define one of these with xmodmap as,
for example, Control_L, it doesn't work: once it should be Control_L it
does register under xev as Control_L but it does not work as Control_L.
The same goes for the Rightclickmenu key. Anyone any ideas? (ideally I would like the keys to function as they do
under MS Windows).
A control key is also a modifier key. xmodmap -pk prints the key assignments. Look at: xmodmap -pm to print the modfier map. Make sure Control_L shows up as a control modifier key.
The xmodmap man page has an example of swapping control and caps-lock that illustrates the modifier key syntax. -Bob Arendt
