Diable special keys in projector

is there a way to make the projector ignor '.' (full stop) -
so not to jump into my next scene, when I don't want it to?
I have a keyboard listener, but according to a trace, the
action of the '.' happens before the listener even knows the key is
pressed - I would like to use '.' to do something else, eventually,
but I certainly don't want it to do what it is doing!

OK - I'm a block head - the 'real' projector does not respond
to these characters when the menu is suppressed, only the preview
player does!

Who succeeded using special keys in KDE?

Hi,
I'm using Gnome, but I really love KDE.The reason that I don't use KDE is hotkey/special key issues. I can't get my x61 thinkpad's special keys to work in KDE such as:
Fn+F2
Fn+F4
Fn+F6
...No on-screen notification for volume keys and brightness keys
I've tried so many distrospensuse kde, kubuntu, debian, and pclinuxos, but I can't get them worked.
Anyone who is successfully using KDE please advice!
Thanks!

That's what I'm doing, and that's what's not working 8-)
It looks like xbindkeys is the way to go.
Thanks all for your comments and assistance.

Slim Keyboard special keys non-functional

Picked up one of the awesome new keyboards tonight, installed keyboard update, rebooted, but the special keys (itunes, dashboard, etc) don't work.
I can assign fn-key to say dashboard, that works, but in non-fn key mode, they do nothing.
Any ideas?

I have the same issue. Basically, after installing "Keyboard Update 1.1" the special keys above F1-F4 (Brightness, Expose and Dashboard) do not work. I have the keyboard plugged into a MacBook Pro and I expected the brightness keys to change the brightness on the MacBook Pro LCD. The iTunes play/pause and the volume keys work fine, but the previously mentioned ones do not.
You should not have to change the keyboard shortcuts (keyboard pref pane) to get this to work, because if you do, then when you unplug the keyboard (as laptop users do frequently) the buttons will be off compared to the laptop keyboard.
I went into the store today to find out if anyone has noticed this, and all the keyboards attached to the new iMac machines work fine. This must be something with the MacBook Pro's

Change keyboard configuration for special keys

Hi guys,
I want to change the default behaviour for some special keys when running windows.
I want the Cmd (Mac) key to be the Alt (Win) key and the Fn (Mac) key to be the Ctrl (Win) key.
Is this possible?

Thanks for your answer Fortuny, but it seems the Ctrl and Alt keys can't be re-mapped using that application... I'll keep searching
Edit: You pointed me in the right direction I found a similar application to the MSKLC called SharpKeys, I was not able to edit the Fn key, but at least a could remap the left Cmd key to be the Alt key.

Special keys/buttons on enhanced HP keyboard no longer do anything

The special keys/buttons on my keyboard no longer do anything. ALL ,except for the Mute and Volume Up/Down buttons, do nothing when pressed. The Eject 1 and Eject 2 buttons used to Open/Close upper and lower the drive trays, but now do not. I tried downloading the drivers from teh HP website but they are older than the ones I got with the computer. I tried installing them anyways but the install keeps crashing with error "If (OSLangDec=="1028" || OSLangDec=="2052" || OSLangDec=="3076") Then".
Any idea why these special keyboard buttons are non-functional at this point?
System info:
Product HP Pavilion a6200n Desktop PC
Model #: a6200n
Enhanced Multimedia PS/2 Keyboard
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic 32

Hi mikenowo, sry I haven't got any more ideas on this one.
In an effort to bump this back up toward the top of the list, here's a couple more questions for you: Is ur Vista current with updates i.e. SP1 and/or SP2? And have you, by chance, disabled the "kbd" services from start up? (KBD.exe runs the special buttons on the keyboard. Needs to have a check mark next to it, like this.)
And an observation: I googled ur error message and, from my brief survey, this oslangdec thing appears to be an hp specific issue with windows operating systems, both xp and vista, a compatability/emulation conflict of some type? I even found one thread where someone posted a pic almost identical to the one u posted. Here's the link to that forum thread. And here's the pic *he* posted (almost two yrs ago). You will see in that thread that he's not even talking about keyboards; he is having a problem with audio drivers. This tells me that the problem is not specific to the keyboard driver - but to certain 3rd party driver installation in general? Unfortuantely noone every followed up with any solution either in this thread or any others I found. But I bring it up now in case someone else in these forums has any idears.
Good luck.

Using windows XP. After replacing a bad keyboard apple special keys no longer work with Boot Camp 3.2

My Original keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged. I recieved a new keyboard (MB110LL/B) from the Apple Store online. Now none of the special Apple keys, volume up, volume down, eject, etc. work anymore. I have Boot Camp 3.3 installed on Windows XP. Boot Camp 3.3 requires Windows 7. I cannot get a replacement (MB110LL/A) keyboard anywhere.

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

Keyboard special keys not working

I have an older imac (imac4.1?) with a new 2009 wireless keyboard and none of the special function keys work aka the volume keys eject and so on I have done everything I can think of it has OS X 10.6.2 snow leopard and they did not work with my older keyboard or older software I had assumed older software new keyboard when I put the new software on it will work it still dose not work and is very frustrating.
What am I doing wrong!?
Thanks for any help.

As far as I know I do but just in case if I had the wrong one selected how would I change it to the one I have?

How can I get the special keys on my external Cherry keyboard to work?

Hi,
so I'd like to get my external Cherry Evolution Stream XT keyboard fully supported. How would I go on about that?
I know there [is a guide on that issue](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … ys_in_Xorg), but how do I know which keycode/number the volume and other media keys on my external keyboard have?
So I found out the keycodes to the "hotkeys" with xev, just as described on the wiki page:
keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 121 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 173 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 171 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 77 = Num_Lock
Do I have to put them into ~/.Xmodmap and it'll be fine? I don't think it could work that way since these keycodes are probably only true for the Cherry keyboard, but not hte Thinkpad's own keyboard.

But what's the command I have to enter? I have been googling the commands, but I can't figure out what kind of "action" I have to assign to that XF86...LowerVolume key.
SOLVED it myself
I coincidently discovered that I had to install asla-utils for the command to work, so I assigned
amixer set Master 10%+
and other versions and it works. Will have to find some matches for toggling, I guess I'll find them eventually.

Handling special keys with no "up" code ?

Hello everyone,
I don't know where to post this, so I start here.
My laptop (samsung nc10) has Fn-keys that can be bound with xbindkeys, but some other don't send an "key released" or "up" signal, making them useless (because the kernel send auto-repeat for that key, leading to infinite loop when bound to this).
I would have an idea to fix this :
By simply adding an option "-noup" to "setkeycodes" so that the kernel would send the keyreleased automatically for those keys would do the trick.
Does anybody have an input for this ? Would that be possible ?
and Merry christmas

I think that first you should exhaust all possibilities for fixing this behavior at the kernel level. If it's truly a hardware issue, where the hardware does not issue key up events, then I think that solutions like the one you have proposed are a good idea. But if the problem is that the driver that handles these keys for some reason doesn't recognize the key up events from the keyboard, then I think the issue is best solved at the driver level. This will allow the keys to work for everyone, even those who haven't figured out that some special xbindkeys command is needed to get the keys to work properly.

Keytouch unable to grab special keys

Hey guys,
I'm using a Sun Type 7 keyboard, and in XFCE I have found that the best way to get the special function keys (volume up/down, mute, etc) to work is to use keytouch. Keytouch worked perfectly for me the first few times I used it. Several reboots later, it simply fails to work. I've tried everything from switching the keyboard model in keytouch to reinstalling the program, but nothing so far has helped. Running keytouch manually from a terminal generates the following errors:
keycode 115 to scancode 458 (0x1ca)
keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:
keycode 114 to scancode 458 (0x1ca)
keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:
keycode 116 to scancode 458 (0x1ca)
keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:

keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:
keycode 128 to scancode 458 (0x1ca)
keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:
keycode 131 to scancode 458 (0x1ca)
keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:
keycode 133 to scancode 458 (0x1ca)

keycode 137 to scancode 458 (0x1ca)
keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:
keycode 136 to scancode 458 (0x1ca)
According to xev, the volume keys are being mapped to their appropriate XF86Audio* bindings, however, this seems to be interfering with keytouch. If that is the problem, how would I go about unmapping these keys so that keytouch can use them? Or is there something else I may have inadvertently messed up here? Thanks

I am having almost the exact same problem. First when I tried to install bootcamp 3.0 from the Snow Leopard disk, I got the error code 2727, but the installer went on to install the nvidia drivers. Then it gave me an error message that a "Windows Pending Restart" needed to be done before I could continue. I restarted the WinXP partition, but still get the same messages. The interesting thing is that I first tried this on my desktop mac, and then I tried it on my Mac Book Pro, and got the same error messages there as well.
I still have bootcamp 2.2 installed. I even tried downloading the 3.1 installer, and it was even weirder that It installed the nvidia drivers, but nothing else, no errors, no nothing.
What is going on?

Apple Aluminum Wired Keyboard: Special Keys Don't Work

The keyboard has function keys that are programmed to perform special operations. The Apple website explicitly states:
“The extended layout has a full complement of keys, including document navigation controls, a numeric keypad, and special function keys for Mac features such as brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, Exposé, and more.”
Unfortunately, two of these keys don’t work, even after a special software update is installed:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/keyboardsoftwareupdate11.html
The manual that comes with the keyboard provides instructions on how to program the keyboard, but those instructions either don’t work or are incorrect.
I've posted more about this and other keyboard issues here:
http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Entries/2007/8/21Apple_Aluminum_WiredKeyboard.html

I am using a PowerMac Dual 2.5 GHz G5 system and had trouble with the F3 and F4 function keys. The various suggestions and instructions as provided on several of the discussion threads didn't work for me.
Here's what worked for me to resolve the problem:
1. Go here and download the Pacifist utility which helps in exploring installation packages:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743
2. Go here and download the Apple OSX update for PowerPC:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdateppc.html
OR... get the version for Intel found here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html
3. Using the Pacifist utility, open the OSX Update dmg file you just downloaded. You will be able to navigate to /System/Library/Core Services. Click on Dock.app and click the install button. When it's uncompressed, it will ask if you would like to update or replace. Click replace. There is an option to repeat this response for all files. Complete the process and then exit the Pacifist utility program.
4. Go here and download the Apple Keyboard Software Update:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/keyboardsoftwareup date11.html
5. Install the Keyboard update and all functions should automatically work.
If the above steps resolve the problem for you, please click on the "Solved" button above. Thanks.

My A1243 keyboard special keys don't function

I have a Mac Pro and I just switched out my old wired keyboard (the one with the clear plastic casing) for the newer A1243 model, all sleek and aluminum and stuff. This includes the special functions for the function keys (volume control, expose, spaces, etc.) However, these don't work. They still do what I set them to do (F12 is dashboard, F11 All windows Exposé, etc.). And, before you say it, I've checked system preferences, and the box next to "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" is UNCHECKED. This isn't too much of a problem, except that I currently can't change my volume from the keyboard. Any way to solve the problem? Happy to give more info.

Alright, so assuming that for whatever reason there's no way I can make the Volume keys on my keyboard work to change the volume. How can I assign the unassigned function keys (so, f16, 17, 18, and 19) to be increase volume, decrease volume, and mute? I've found in the "Keyboard SHortcuts" section of the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane where you can assign new shortcuts, but I need the "exact name of the menu command" in order to do so. What can I put in there to be able to change the volume? I've tried "Increase Volume" "Increase System Volume" and "Mute" to no effect.
Thanks.

Laptop special keys

Hi!
I`m running 32-bit Arch on my Acer 7720g lappy, and i`ve managed to get everything working by now, except for 2 things:
1.Suspending to Ram for more than once (known bug, that hasn`t been fixed yet, Acer fault - notebook doesn`t come up from sleep on 2nd resume)
2.Enabling all hotkeys on keyboard.
I know about "xev", i`ve used it to set my hotkeys that work with the Function key(brightness control, volume control, next/prev song, etc.), they work OK. What doesn`t work are some addition Acer keys, like Email, Messenger and Internet Browser (i`ve marked them on the attached image):
The problem is, they are not even detected by xev. Are there any other ways to configure them? In fact, bluetooth and wireless buttons are enabled and working, but other ones are not... I do have acpi hotkey support installed (as said in Wiki).

It didn`t work either, i get no responce when i press these keys - as if Linux doesn`t even know i`ve pressed them.

Capture special key struck within a JTextField

Hello I'm trying to create a customized JTextField that does the following ...
1. accepts only numbers - usually in the format of x.xx
2. capture when a decimal key (.) is hit and move the cursor to the other side of the decimal and edit only that side
Item 2 is really where I'm lost. Is there a way to listen for a 'key' to be struck and then within the JTextField place the cursor? ... I've done it before within a document with setcaret or something like that but not sure about this ....
Help!

Is there a way to
listen for a 'key' to be struck and then within the
JTextField place the cursor?When I did something like this I used a regular JTextField and overrode the processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) method. That method gets called 3 times per keystroke (key pressed, key released, key typed) but I was only interested in key pressed. So if (e.getID() != KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) then super.processKeyEvent(e) and get out. After that, you're in complete control of what gets entered into the JTextField. If you don't call super.processKeyEvent(e) then the character won't be entered, so that way you can "trap" certain keys and react accordingly by setting the caret position, etc.
