I bought a new keyboard and the right shift key doesn’t work. However, I think it is a problem with firmware/software, not hardware.
If I run xev and If I press to “A”
KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
root 0x397, subw 0x0, time 1329942, (158,-25), root:(2128,94),
state 0x10, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (61) “a”
XFilterEvent returns: False
If I run xev and If I press to “right shift”
KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
root 0x397, subw 0x0, time 1459660, (158,-25), root:(2128,94),
state 0x10, keycode 97 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
It works something like xmodmap -e "keycode 97 = Control_R" on X11.
Is it possible to fix this without using a 3rd party daemon on wayland?
I tried both gnome and kde
By the way, it doesn’t work in windows either
I modified some layouts and changed keyboard layout but I couldn’t solve. I expect to work properly.
