I have a Verbatim keyboard which is about four years old. It has a
special key at the top left which 'shifts' the functions of the function
keys to some non-standard program-specific settings; e.g. F2 becomes
'New' and F7 becomes 'Spell Check'. When booting into Linux Mint this
option is turned on by default, and it's a bloody nuisance. There is
also a row of special 'launching' buttons along the top for programs
like Word, which could be useful if I could work out and change what
they are actually sending. Can anyone with experience of this come up
with a way to prevent the shifted settings starting up by default,
and/or a key interceptor program which could at least tell me what codes
the 'shifted' function keys are sending to the CPU?
