https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D277531 Bug ID: 277531 Summary: x11/xorg: "Menu" key works on some keyboards not on others Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd@tim.thechases.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(x11@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org While it took a while to track down[1], the Menu key (usually to the right = of the spacebar on the standard 105-key keyboard) seems to send two different key-codes. I have USB keyboard plugged into my laptop. Pressing the Menu key on the laptop keyboard sends keycode 147 which gets translated to "XF86MenuKB" whi= le pressing the same Menu key on the external USB keyboard sends keycode 135 w= hich gets translated to the "Menu" keysym: $ xev 2>/dev/null | awk '/^Key/{k=3D$1}/keysym/{sub(/, same_screen.*/, "");print k, $0}' KeyPress state 0x10, keycode 147 (keysym 0x1008ff65, XF86MenuKB) KeyRelease state 0x10, keycode 147 (keysym 0x1008ff65, XF86MenuKB) KeyPress state 0x10, keycode 135 (keysym 0xff67, Menu) KeyRelease state 0x10, keycode 135 (keysym 0xff67, Menu) Critically, AFAICT, most applications expect/respect the "Menu" keysym, but ignore the "XF86MenuKB" symbol. Thus, if I'm in Firefox or Chromium and hit the Menu key on my laptop, it does nothing; if I hit the Menu key on my external keyboard, it invokes the right-click menu. In that Reddit thread[= 1], it seems to be every application we've thrown at it -- KDE for the OP; browsers, office applications, and other applications for me. It looks like some changes were made a couple years ago[2] and someone else butting their head against the issue[3]. It looks like the solution might involve modifying /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet so that the line currently reading key <I147> { [ XF86MenuKB ] }; gets changed, replacing "XF86MenuKB" with "Menu". (I'm not sure there's a way to update every application that expects "Menu"= to also allow "XF86MenuKB" as a synonym). I can provide additional detail or debugging output if needed (output of `xinput --list --long` and `setxkbmap -print` provided at the bottom of thi= s; the "SEM" is the external USB keyboard). --------- [1] original Reddit thread wherein this was tracked down: https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1b6gi5n/keyboard_menu_key_doesnt_= work_on_freebsd14_kde5/ [2] https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2020-March/075495.html [3] http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-mar2020.php?subtitle=3DDaily%20teevee%20upd= ate&article=3DD-20200306-002910#D-20200306-002910 ------------ =E2=8E=A1 Virtual core pointer id=3D2 [master p= ointer (3)] Reporting 8 classes: Class originated from: 12.
