Mod4/Super/Windows key not working. No keycode or scancode

Like the title states my super key does not work at all. I had not used my arch install for ~one month (so no updates) but it was definitely working at that time. I recently formatted everything and started from scratch, but this time my super key does not seem to work at all. I have tried to use xev but nothing happens when either the left or right super keys are pressed. They also don't affect the output of any other keys when used together.
I'm using a logitech g110. I installed g15daemon but it did not help. My dmesg output shows that my keyboard is detected as Gaming Keyboard G110 yet still, no working super key.

No showkey won't work either. I noticed that "/use/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev" on my laptop, is different than the one on my desktop. Namely my desktop's version is missing the lines setting the codes for RWIN and LWIN. I'm not at my desktop currently but adding this line may be worth a try. Don't know why they would be different in the first place.

Keyboard windows key not working properly

I am not able to navigate to start screen with regular windows key press. I need to press hard to navigate to the start screen. But other functions with windows key is working properly. For Eg: Windows Key + R is working properly with regular press. Please help.

Hello:
I do not know of a setting that would do that - especially intermittently.
I would suspect the KB is failing/has failed.

HP Pavilion x2 11-h003sa windows key not working

About 3 weeks after I got myHP Pavilion x2 11-h003sa 11.6" 2 in 1 - Laptop, the touch windows home key stopped working also touch keyboard vibration stopped. After looking I thought it was 8.1 so I used a recovery usb from HP no help still not working....tried shutting down with 10 second power still no joy, all drivers are upto date....anyone know how to fix it.

Hi @Jason4771 , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand your WIndows home key stopped working, and the vibration has stopped on the keyboard. I have not found a specific way to disable/enable the vibration, so if you are unable to locate such a setting in your keyboard settings, I suspect you may have a hardware issue.

QuickTIme Pro Windows Key Not Working in OSX

Is this intentional and is there a way to get a key for both if you purchased or do you have to purchase twice?

For Qt 7 Pro key:
Sorry the Pro keys are not cross-platform. meaning you have to buy the Pro key for different OSs.
Except in OSX, the OSX Pro key in will work in either Panther, Tiger or Leopard. And the same with Windows different OSs.
A Window's key won't work in OSX and OSX won't work in Windows.

Esc key not working in windows 7

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook.
Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

Hello siddharthmishra,
You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
Here is a link to device manager.
If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
Here is a link to a System Restore.
Let me know how everything goes.

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 windows 7 - 64 bit. only key not working

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 Windows 7 - 64 bit. The Windows key is the only key not working.

Thanks for the information,
I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue. My first suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard.
Follow these steps to do that:
Click the "Start Menu"
Type "Device" in the search box under all programs
Select "Device Manager"
Click "Keyboards"
Remove all devices under keyboards by right clicking and selecting" uninstall" on each device
Restart the computer
How long has the button not been working?
Are there any other keys not working or producing the wrong character?

FN keys not working Hp probook 4320s

Hello
I am having a problem with the FN keys on a HP Probook 4320s and using openbox.
When I tried an ubuntu live cd the brightness, volume etc, worked just fine.
Using xev I got this output while hitting the keys
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
root 0x152, subw 0x0, time 1722303, (-375,141), root:(717,436),
state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Also when I echo a value in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness the brightness changes but still fn keys not working.
Can anyone help me with this?.

I am having a problem with the FN keys on a HP Probook 4320s and using openbox.

Openbox is a window manager, not an environment like Gnome. It manages windows, not your screen brightness and wireless settings.
I can reverse the action in ubuntu and see what is wrong in arch.
Nothing is wrong. And your keys work fine, I know because mine do.
Is there a way to see what is called when pressing the keys in ubuntu?
They developed their own notifications that handle this. You can just call xbacklight and amixer for a start from xbindkeys.
For volume and brightness an applet is nicer to get the visal cue, you can do that with a little bash and Zenity easily, or code your own in GTK (I used pygtk for mine).

Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Xardas,
I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!

Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

X240 F8 Wifi function (fn) key not working

Hi guys,
Just wondering if you guys have the same problem with the F8 wifi switch function key not working?
The F8 function key only works if I have the "Network" page opened on the right hand side (by clicking on the network logo on the task bar). It doesn't do anything if I just press it without that network page out.
Is it suppose to do that?

Hi Tomlaulau,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with Wifi on ThinkPad X240.
This kind of issue occurs when there is error in the Power Management application. Hence we request you to check with updating the Power Management application from the drivers page.
If your system is installed with Windows 7 OS, then you have to install both Power Management and Power Manager Application.
Below is the link to enter the downloads page and install exact Power Management application accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!
Best regards,

Re: Satellite C650 - FN key not working

Hi.
In my Satellite C650-1CG (PSC14E-00G001AR) with XP*86 bit, "FN" key not working. I saw a lot of solutions here but unfortunately for Windows 7 i didn't see yet..
pls help me

Hi shamlic,
> I saw a lot of solutions here
Yes, there are hundreds of threads here in forum about FN keys and as far as I know the problem could always be solved by reinstalling Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility from official Toshiba European driver download page.
That means you have to remove the old versions first, then restart the computer and install the newest versions.

Take a look here:
Function key changes in Satellite and Qosmio 800 series
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2903E00000R01.htm
You can use the traditional FN + F key mode or just an F key mode.
This can be enabled and disabled in BIOS or the HWSetup
In BIOS go to Advanced -> System configuration -> Function key mode
This mode can be changed
Also be sure that Function Button option is enabled too
