Re: My Alt keys don't work!
Ok, sticking to fixing my Alt keys for now. First I was wrong, Alt Gr is
working as it should, it allows me to type that | character that is the
third character on its key, and various other characters that are not
labelled on the keys. It does not function as an Alt modifier however
(of the kind that would let me Alt-Tab for example).
Keycodes from xev:
Left Alt: 64
Alt Gr: 108.
They are the same keycodes for the built-in and the external keyboard.
So that's my first problem. The built-in keyboard has a stuck left alt
key so I have to disable keycode 64. I have to do this even when I'm
using my external keyboard, because the built-in keyboard is still there
pressing Alt by itself. Is there a way to disable keycode 64 or the
built-in keyboard only, or to disable the built-in keyboard entirely
when I'm using the external keyboard?
If there isn't then I think I'll have to lose my Alt key on the external
keyboard as well and remap something else (Caps Lock seems like the best
candidate on the external keyboard) to act as the Alt key should.
