I use arch, with keyboard layout “es”, because I’m Spanish. My keyboard doesn’t recognize the key “Insert”, unless Fn is enabled, and I don’t know why. I found its keycode in xmodmap -kpe
: keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert
.
Since Fn takes the 7th place, I thought about changing it to keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert
, but nothing changed.
It is strange since changing it to keycode 118 = slash NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert
, will only work when Fn is enabled as well, meaning that Fn
+Insert
= /
.
Probably unimportant: There’s also a keycode 90 = KP_Insert KP_0 KP_Insert KP_0 KP_Insert KP_0
, but I don’t know what key is. Using xev
and pressing Insert
with Fn enabled says it’s key 118, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
What happens if you install keyd, run the monitor with
keyd - m
, then press the key. Do you get an response?
