Public bug reported: I need the key combinations Alt+< and Alt+> for the shell and for Emacs. With my new keyboard, which accesses > and < thourgh a Fn ("function") key, the combination Alt+< works, whereas Alt+> does not work. The output of evtest is:
Event: time 1426697967.687802, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e2 Event: time 1426697967.687802, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 56 (KEY_LEFTALT), value 1 Event: time 1426697967.687802, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Event: time 1426697967.735803, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e1 Event: time 1426697967.735803, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 42 (KEY_LEFTSHIFT), value 1 Event: time 1426697967.735803, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e2 Event: time 1426697967.735803, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 56 (KEY_LEFTALT), value 0 Event: time 1426697967.735803, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 70064 Event: time 1426697967.735803, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 86 (KEY_102ND), value 1 Event: time 1426697967.735803, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Event: time 1426697967.799797, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e1 Event: time 1426697967.799797, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 42 (KEY_LEFTSHIFT), value 0 Event: time 1426697967.799797, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 70064 Event: time 1426697967.799797, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 86 (KEY_102ND), value 0 Event: time 1426697967.799797, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Thus, KEY_LEFTALT is disabled immediately after the KEY_LEFTSHIFT event, which is implicitly generated because ">" doesn't need the shift key on this keyboard, just the Fn key. In other words, the "... KEY_LEFTALT), value 0" is generated too early. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1433694 Title: Implicit KEY_LEFTSHIFT key event undoes KEY_LEFTALT To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1433694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
