I just did a little experiment. First a booted clean from the Gutsy Tribe 4, then before changing anything I took a screenshot of the keyboard shortcuts dialog. It had a large number of "hex codes". Then I switched to swedish keyboard layout and looked again. The exact same keys had hexcodes (no change).

[Bug 25002] Re: Codes shown in Gnome Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts
The problem is that not all keyboards generate the same keycodes for multimedia/internet keys. So it is not possible to map these keys out of the box with a name (called a keysym). To get keysyms for your keys instead of hex codes there are 2 possibilities: 1) Find out the keycodes with xev and map them to the right keysyms with xmodmap 2) Define a new keyboard model in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet which allows you to select the keyboard in the GNOME Keyboard Preferences. A detailed description on how to do this can be found here: http ://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys Perhaps somebody could set up some project and ask the community to provide their xmodmap files and create keyboard models from this that can be sent to xorg upstream.

[Bug 25002] Re: Codes shown in Gnome Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts
Manu, This is because kdebase-bin package provides this file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80ubuntu-xmodmap This file contains keycode to keysym mappings for frequently used multimedia/internet keys as described in my previous comment. As said before not every keyboard generates the same scancodes for the same multimedia/internet key, these keys were added later to keyboards and every manufacturer could choose different scancodes. In Ubuntu we could define some buttons like Back and Forward, that have the same scancodes on nearly every keyboard, to work out of the box. But using a xmodmap file like KDE will likely result in some of your multimedia keys still not working or some keys being swapped. So the question is: Should we make some keyboard buttons work out of the box? Or should your keyboard model be added to xorg to make all your buttons work when selecting the right keyboard model in GNOME Keyboard Preferences? -- Codes shown in Gnome Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I just did a little experiment. First a booted clean from the Gutsy Tribe 4, then before changing anything I took a screenshot of the keyboard shortcuts dialog. It had a large number of "hex codes". Then I switched to swedish keyboard layout and looked again. The exact same keys had hexcodes (no change).

[Bug 25002] Re: Codes shown in Gnome Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts
The problem is that not all keyboards generate the same keycodes for multimedia/internet keys. So it is not possible to map these keys out of the box with a name (called a keysym). To get keysyms for your keys instead of hex codes there are 2 possibilities: 1) Find out the keycodes with xev and map them to the right keysyms with xmodmap 2) Define a new keyboard model in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet which allows you to select the keyboard in the GNOME Keyboard Preferences. A detailed description on how to do this can be found here: http ://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys Perhaps somebody could set up some project and ask the community to provide their xmodmap files and create keyboard models from this that can be sent to xorg upstream.

[Bug 25002] Re: Codes shown in Gnome Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts
Manu, This is because kdebase-bin package provides this file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80ubuntu-xmodmap This file contains keycode to keysym mappings for frequently used multimedia/internet keys as described in my previous comment. As said before not every keyboard generates the same scancodes for the same multimedia/internet key, these keys were added later to keyboards and every manufacturer could choose different scancodes. In Ubuntu we could define some buttons like Back and Forward, that have the same scancodes on nearly every keyboard, to work out of the box. But using a xmodmap file like KDE will likely result in some of your multimedia keys still not working or some keys being swapped. So the question is: Should we make some keyboard buttons work out of the box? Or should your keyboard model be added to xorg to make all your buttons work when selecting the right keyboard model in GNOME Keyboard Preferences? -- Codes shown in Gnome Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
