I didn't notice these problems with OS2007 that I've started
having in OS2008 using a bluetooth keyboard (sierra stowaway). Any
solutions/thoughts welcome.
- Ctrl-E anywhere appears to bring up the Search box. This makes
using Emacs difficult and I can't figure out where this key is
defined (and I can't think of a reason why this should be
defined!)
- Ctrl-D in the X terminal consistently freezes it and if I don't
kill the window, appears to use up all memory.
- I change the keyboard layout to dvorak with xmodmap. With
OS2007, I could run xmodmap once and could connect/disconnect the
keyboard and it would still be in the dvorak layout. Now, the
keyboard reverts its layout upon keyboard
disconnect/reconnect. And with the device not always maintaining a
bluetooth connection when it sleeps/power saves, it changes my
layout often back to qwerty. This also happens if I connect
another keyboard (i.e. a usb keyboard) so something appears to be
resetting the keyboard layout behind my back. It also is sometimes
reset after some amount of time even when I'm pretty sure the
keyboard hasn't been disconnected/reconnected.
- In the X terminal, I sometimes get an extra bar (about same size
as the toolbar) in the lower part of the screen with "abc" on the
right. When this happens, when I type on the keyboard, I see word
completions below similar to what happens with the virtual
keyboard. But even if I disconnect the bluetooth keyboard, I can't
get the onscreen keyboard to come back up. I have no idea how I
got this bar in the first place or how to get rid of it.
