Re: Weird Keyboard Issue with anko keyboard.

[Hartmut Wagener <hartmut.w.wagener@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think its a problem with the keyboards firmware. Its firmware seems to 
"think" of a notebook-keyboard without single INS,DEL,HOME,END,PG-UP and 
PG-DN-keys. and disables the keys (as the functions on a number-pad are 
disabled by NumLock active).

You can check the use of keyfuzz or kbct-git to change keycode-mapping. 
Or a tool like keymonad to create special keysets (i use this on my 
notebook to put <>|-key on an other special-key (in my case press ^ 
together with 1 2 or 3).
