I've been seeing some interesting posts about using some of those enhancement keys such as the win key and all that. I'm wondering if there is a way to use the win key as an enhancement like we do with the alt key. When I tried it from the shell prompt, it had no effect. Showkey does identify scan codes for the down and up strokes. I understand how that can be used for keymaps but what about generall applications such as with curses? Also on another question, how about these keyboards they have now with the extra buttons across the top for pre-programmed functions common for windows users? Is there any way we linux users can take advantage of those additional keys? I don't know if the scan codes are detectable with linux or not. I don't presently own such a keyboard. However, I have a wide keyboard here with three extra keys below the typical "six-pack" keys and showkey doesn't intercept those keys either. Any ideas out there?
