OpenSUSE :: Using Extra Keys For Launching Applications?
Aug 12, 2010I own a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 1000 which I'm overall pleased with. The keyboard has some extra media and application launching keys which I try to assign in systemsettings>Input Actions. I believe the application is called khotkeys, however I'm not sure. Four different cases occurred as follows: The keys are recognized and can be assigned a command to run. When settings are saved the specified application launches. Examples of keys that works:
Code:
Physical key symbol : Recognized by khotkeys as : HEX code send by keyboard (obtained by showkeys)
Headphones : Tools : keycode 171 press, keycode 171 release
House : Home Page : keycode 172 press, keycode 172 release
All media keys (play/pause, next, prev, stop, vol-up, vol-down & mute)

General :: Keyboard - Swap Fn (function) And Control Keys In System On A Macbook Pro?

PS. You can do this with software in OSX with the application KeyRemap4MacBook.
Hardware :: Extra Keys Not Working On Logitech Cordless Desktop LX710?
Jan 14, 2010I am running Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.32-trunk-amd64.
The box says it's a Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave. lsusb says it's a "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser".
The zoom keys and the other key on the left don't work. The configuration and camera key don't work. The music and media centre keys both think they're the configuation key.
However, the Previous, Next, Stop, Play, Mute, Volume Up/Down, Calculator, and Sleep keys work.
Following is heaps of spam. I hope somebody can make some sense of it. :P

Fedora :: Volume Control Keys On Keyboard Don't Control Volume Anymore
Oct 29, 2009Volume up, volume down and mute keys on the keyboard don't control the volume any longer.They worked before. Hitting the keys brings up a progress bar widget with the volume level unchangeable, set at 0% (which is not accurate at all).It looks like the key mappings or key bindings are working, but there is a disconnect with actual functionality. The volume cannot be changed or muted anymore from the keyboard.
This worked just fine in KDE on Fedora 11 before upgrading KDE components yesterday with Yumex. I am now using KDE 4.3.2 I don't think that it's a coincidence that it stopped working after doing an update.
I updated the kernel and nVidia drivers too, but this problem exists when I went back and tested with the previous kernel, so I don't suspect the kernel upgrade. No info in Xorg.conf about the keyboard. Is there a setting that I am missing?
Sound works just fine. I can listen to whatever source I like. This is not a problem with the sound drivers as far as I can tell.I just want to be able to control the volume with the keys on my Logitech Illuminated Keyboard, model Y-UY95. Is anyone else experiencing this?I can adjust the volume with Kmix 3.5 or GNOME Volume Control V2.1
Fedora :: Left And Up Arrow Keys Not Working?
Apr 6, 2010I just installed fc12 on a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop. Everything is fine except that my Left and Up arrow keys are inactive so .e.g. I can't review bash history.
In the "keyboard preferences" GUI the keyboard model is "evdev-managed keyboard" (although I have also tried without success the model specific for this laptop) and the only layout is "USA".
Have done an update of all packages without fixing this problem.

Mar 19, 2010control keys aren't working most of the time in Open Office. I can copy, cut and paste with the mouse, but Control+C/X/V/Z is not working at all. I also use intellij idea, there I have the same problem, but I can use its own defined control+alt+space. I've tried Abiword, the control keys worked at the begging but then after a while when I used control+something(C/X/V/Z), it always selected everything. Besides that, the control keys are working perfectly in nautilus, terminal, firefox, chrome, gedit. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.

Jan 14, 2011I would like to use my multimedia keys on the laptop.
As I have seen in kde, they are recognized already, very good.
But I would like to use the play-pause, ffd, rwd and stop button in a special way.
After pressing one of them , a programm or script is called, which does:
a) determine the entries ( in a list ) of assigned applications to be controlles by this mm-buttons. ( The list can be edited, I decide to add vlc, amarok, flash plugin for firefox )
b) determine, which of the applications are running actually.
c) determine, which of this applications has the focus ( means, which of them ( if all more running ) is "the active one".
d) issue its shell command, which corresponds to the keyhit ( play, pause, fwd, rwd, stop )
Now my question : Is it all possible via shell/and or x-script?
If not, i will have to code something, i suppose.
Fedora :: Random Times Roles Of Caps Lock And Control Keys Gets Reverted Back To Normal
Oct 18, 2010I have a problem with keyboard mappings on F13. I have the following in my .xmodmap file that is run from .bash_profile:
[code]...
The problem is that at seemingly random times the roles of the caps lock and control keys (and the other customisations) gets reverted back to normal - which makes for an awful lot of confusion! Running xmodmap again switches them to how I like it, but again after a seemingly random period it resets itself. This occurs under KDE and Gnome in F13, but did not occur in F12. Using the KDE keyboard settings dialog to switch caps lock and control does the exhibits the same behaviour.
General :: F3 - F5 Keys Incorrectly Behaving As Audio Keys / Remap Them To Original Meaning?
Apr 17, 2010I don't know if this is a configuration issue or a hardware issue, but I have a Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard and for some reason the F3-F5 keys aren't responding as they used to. They don't respond to anything and, when I tried using F5 on Emacs, it said <XF86AudioNext> is undefined, so I guess it's a weird mapping problem.
Any idea how I could remap them to the original meaning?

I want to remap the remaining three to control, alt and super so that I can use shortcuts with the stylusThe problem is, when I used showkey to find out the key codes, I found out that each button generates more than one key code:Button 1:
key 126 press >> super_r, although this is distinct from the actual super key (125)
key 7 press >> 6
key 7 release

OpenSUSE :: What Exactly Is The Extra Repository /repositories/KDE:/Extra
Jul 18, 2010there are 2 related to 11.3: openSUSE_11.3/ and openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Factory/ Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra they are not listed as official kde4 repos here KDE repositories - openSUSE, but they are in the same directory structure on the build service so it would assume they are official (what ever official means) They have rpm's I didn't see in community and playground (at least for 11.3) such as audex and clementine I would guess that they are for the stable and factory versions of KDE4 but then shouldn't there be a 3rd for unstable if this was the case? Or do they refer to the distro, 11.3 stable and 11.3 factory

Jun 15, 2011I'm not sure if I should post this question in "hardware & laptops", or "Desktop Environments", because this is a hardware problem on a desktop computer.
Description of Problem:There is another thread that discussed this same problem that I'm having: However that thread is so old that the suggestions in it no longer work in Ubuntu 10.04 and for whatever reason I can not make a reply to that thread.As in the above thread, I've tried other input devices and rebooting the computer and using other USB ports, and my mouse still intermittently double left clicks randomly at times when I've only clicked the left mouse button once and at times and places when it should only produce a single click such as when selecting a drop down menu.
Has any one else had this problem, and does any one have any idea how to fix it or to trouble shoot this a bit more? Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to further clarify or troubleshoot this issue.
Programming :: Implement Left-associative Operators In Parser That Does Not Allow Left Recursion?
Jan 20, 2011The first is about implementing function calls. The way I currently have it is that functions are called with a C++ std::vector of nodes as the parameters. How would I turn a comma-seperated list of expressions into a C++ vector in the grammar?Second, how do you implement left-associative operators in a parser that does not allow left recursion?
And third, what would be the best internal representation of integers? A C++ int seems simplest, but limited. Using GMP seems more versatile, but I'm afraid it might seriously slow down the interpreter compared to C++ ints.
