Doh, I made a mistake - you need to run 'showkey -s' to get raw scancodes. Can you try this again, pressing 'fn' on its own, and also press 'fn' in combination with some function keys. > >> Also could keys F16 to F24 (Q_KEY_CODE_F16 to Q_KEY_CODE_F24) be added to > >> the database? > > > > Those are already defined in keycodemapdb, so we just need to give them > > names in the qapi schema, and then add the name mapping to keycodemapdb. > > I have a vague memory of doing something like this a long time ago. > Hopefully I can find the path if it exists. In qapi/ui.json you need to edit the enum 'QKeyCode' to define the extra keys.
