How to recognize special function keys on keyboard
- by NikolaiDante
I have a Microsoft Digital Media 3000 Keyboard. None of the function keys or other special keys seem to do anything, what do I need to do to get them working (at the very least f2, as not having a shortcut to rename a file is driving me mad)
If I run xev and press f2 I get the following output in the terminal:
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4800001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 42858728, (674,456), root:(1034,588),
state 0x10, keycode 139 (keysym 0xff65, Undo), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4800001,
root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 42858912, (674,456), root:(1034,588),
state 0x10, keycode 139 (keysym 0xff65, Undo), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
