From: Xah Lee on 3 Aug 2010 15:01 Discovered a dead key. In emacs, i have the Menu key set as Hyper, and i have âHyper+Shift+qâ as a shortcut to some command. However, Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard simply does not register that combination when right shift is used. But left shift works.

But left shift works. Happens all the time with these keyboards, and I suspect many others. On linux/bsd, try running `xev`. There's all sorts of keys like Shift_L, Shift_R, Alt_L, Alt_R, etc. They can be mapped to the same action, but don't have to be. - Daniel |
