From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031202 Description of problem: Since 1995, almost every keyboard sold in the world for pc computers has as least three more keys, comparing with 286's keyboards: Two "windows" and one used for menu, which uses to have the same effect of pressing the second mouse button. As we are in 2004, it's been 9 years ignoring something which is a reality. I'm not saying that these keys must have any default function (like raising the fedora menu) - but being recognized by default would make easy for several people to configure it the way it was projected to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All XFree 4.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Gnome. 2. Go to preferences - keyboard shortcuts 3. Try to configure any keyboard shortcut and press one of these keys - nothing happens. Actual Results: Nothing. Expected Results: It should behave the way it does when there's a .Xmodmap file on user's dir containing: keycode 115 = F13 keycode 116 = F14 keycode 117 = F15
