I installed it, but I get the error message: I uninstalled that one and then installed the deb file that's supposed to be for the 3.1.2 Ubuntu package AMD64. I installed it from the Discover repository, and it ran in the sense of it pulled up a GUI, but I could not get it to assign those keys. It's named keytouch-editor, and its web page is here: I've googled this a ton, and I happened upon a utility that's supposed to solve the problem. I even tried setting it to a few Dell keyboards (this PC is a Dell), but there was no difference. I can assign any key other than the specialty 1 - 5 keys. I've tried setting it to every Microsoft keyboard on the list, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. System Settings => Input Devices => Keyboard There is a place in settings where you can specify a specific keyboard. On the old MS keyboard, the 4000, they would always be named "launch" and a number, much like the calculator button did. ![]() They don't respond when I press them to assign them. When I named kcalc by pressing on the calculator button, it was named "launch(1)".īut naming those 1 - 5 specialty buttons has been like pulling teeth. When I pressed on it to assign it, it was named "favorites". I assigned that to my KeepassXC application. This star button I was actually able to assign to something. Right next to them is a star key, which is commonly used to pull up a directory for the 1 - 5 hotkeys. Most Microsoft keyboards have these speciality hot keys numbered 1 - 5. These should not be confused for the number keys or for the function keys (F1 - F5). However, the ones I haven't been able to make work are the specialty buttons numbered 1 - 5. It has all been working exactly like my previous Microsoft keyboard, a 4000, which I'm replacing due to age. I assigned that one to go to the URL where I get my Yahoo mail. ![]() It also worked for the button that looks like an envelope. System Settings => Shortcuts => Custom Shortcuts => => New => Command/URLįor example, I did that and put in the kcalc command and pressed the button that looks like a little calculator on the keyboard. Other keys I've been able to get to work with this standard route: All the regular keys work out of the box. It's this keyboard:Īlmost everything works. I'm having a rough time getting all the keys on my new Microsoft Comfort 5050 Desktop keyboard to work. ![]()
