Disable XF86Search feature / key
I want to disable the XF86Search feature in my system. I will try anything.
One of my mouse buttons, when pressed, triggers this XF86Search no matter what I disable or change. (This feature opens up my browser and goes to a search page.) Strangely the mouse button is being interpreted as a key, not a mouse-button press. How do I disable this feature? I am running KDE 4.3.5 with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic (Kubuntu). Though I use BTNX to configure my mouse buttons, this feature has absolutely nothing to do with that. I have tested by disabling BTNX completely and clicking this special button on my mouse still loads a search page. Here is the xev command output: Code:
..... EDIT/UPDATE: It seems I was mistaken. The problem is not universal, just limited to KDE. Unfortunately I cannot change that thread property. |
Depending on how many mouse buttons there are, some may be assigned to events you don't want. I would install Control Center, and use that to configure the mouse. You should have options for all the mouse buttons available. I've been struggling with the KDE desktop. I like it, but there are many problems. I find it easier on most of my machines to use gnome. You might consider this.
