I'm sure I would still hit it occasionally. 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 .)
Thanks for any advice.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
Did you use
sudo ???
Try first to su to root and then
/bin/loadkeys << 'EOF'
keycode TheKeyCodeInQuestion = NoSymbol
EOF
