Bug Description
Binary package hint: mumble
I have a Lenovo T61 laptop and when I'm not traveling I use a USB microsoft natural 4000 keyboard plugged into it. From either keyboard, I can navigate the main mumble interface (Alt-e to bring up the Server menu, for example); however, when I try to set up shortcuts like Push to Talk, keypresses are recognized only from the keyboard native to the laptop, not from the external keyboard. For example, I tried to set up the Windows key for Push to Talk, xev sees both keypresses as Super_L:
KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x6c00001,
root 0x123, subw 0x6c00002, time 2311298519, (34,36), root:(849,578),
state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
vs
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x6c00001,
root 0x123, subw 0x0, time 2311301020, (99,6), root:(914,548),
state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
but only the windows key on the laptop is recognized either by the shortcut entry or for activating the shortcut itself. This is true for regular alphanumeric keys as well.
