KubuntuLaptopKeycodes

Revision 3 as of 2006-07-09 13:47:29

I am working on KubuntuLaptopButtons spec for Edgy and would like to get more reports on keycodes from laptop users.

Please add your notebook (with your nick) to this table - if you have a key which is not listed, please add new row.

Key	HP nw8240 BR LukaRenko	Toshiba A10 Satellite BR ["Hobbsee"]
Sleep	223	223
Hibernate		165
Battery	241
Info	245
Presentation	205
Mute	160	160
Volume Down	174
Volume Up	176
Eject		36
Windows Key		115
Lock screen		146
Power Modes		241

Note: you can get keycode by running xev program from command line (termina/Konsole) and then pressing the special laptop keys and searching for keycode, for example output

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x76, subw 0x0, time 1400690129, (70,50), root:(74,102),
    state 0x0, keycode 223 (keysym 0x1008ff10, XF86Standby), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x76, subw 0x0, time 1400690129, (70,50), root:(74,102),
    state 0x0, keycode 223 (keysym 0x1008ff10, XF86Standby), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

An easier way to do this is to run:

xev | grep keycode
