Hi Rob, > Some program has a "grab" on the keys, so xev isn't getting the KeyPress > and KeyRelease events. I believe the "tpb" program is the most common > culprit. Let me know if that's your problem so I can mention it on my > page. That's it! Stopping tpb let xev get the keycodes. I'm hoping I can run tpb and map these keys in firefox at the same time. :) Thanks for your fast response, Shaw
