The problem is that I often don't notice until I've overwritten a bunch of characters, so I prefer to put it beyond use.To the original OP: This is what I do in order to disable a key: sudo /bin/loadkeys << 'EOF' keycode TheKeyCodeInQuestion = NoSymbol EOF If you do not know the KeyCode, run the program: showkey and press the key in question and it's code will be displayed. You must wait 10 seconds of idle and showkey program will exit; then run the sudo script above.
This looks very useful to me .... but as usual I fall at the first hurdle. When I type showkey or "showkey -k" I get:
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
And that's it. Anything I can do about this? (Please note: I am running Fedora 17 --- yes, I know --- and using a Mate desktop; Mate 1.6.1 .)
