Getting LinEAK to ignore certain keys

Zallus · 09-30-2003, 08:42 PM

I've set up LinEAK, just so that I could work with some of the keys on my "Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard" (the ones like "E-Mail", "Shopping", etc.), but I've already dove some other things, like mapping the little "Go" key to be the same as Alt+F2 in KDE. Is there any way I can get LinEAK to "release" particular keys for the system's use? Perhaps re-writing the keyboard's LinEAK configuration file?

I'd ask elsewhere, but LinEAK doesn't seem to have forums.

~/.lineak/lineakd.conf is the configuration file, just edit what you need

No, I mean, I already have the keys set up, and when I have `lineakd` running, they cease to register in `xev`. I've tried commenting them out, but it didn't revive the normal keys. Does LinEAKd just interrupt all keycodes over 127 from being passed to KDE / GNOME?

AFAIK yes, lineakd handles every 'special' key on your keyboard
