4 years ago Hi @HansBinBrabant,
If this worked in 18.3 and not in 20, I'd suggest the following:
- Create an issue on https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues
- Make sure the keyboard layout is exactly the same in both versions (same keyboard model, same layout, same variant, same options)
- Provide screenshots for both
- Provide a simple sequence of keys pressed for us to reproduce and explain exactly what happens and should happen. Don't hesitate to screenshot the text and text selection you mention.
I'll close this here as it's not new and not specific to Mint.
Lenovo Ideapad L340-15IRH Gaming - Keyboard issue
In my Lenovo Ideapad L340-15IRH Gaming, with Linux Mint 19.2 and then 19.3 installed and also In Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon Beta, running live from USB stick,
Keyboard numlock on/off x Home and End key x text editing with CTRL ALT and SHIFT functions : mismatch
What goes wrong ? it is about using the keyboard for moving the cursor through any text, with using the 7/Home and 1/End function (on the right side numeric key area) for selecting text. I have learned this functionality in the 90' on unix computers, and still use it. I do want it to work. Example : Put the cursor at the end of a line of text. Do NumLock off. Press Shift and Home, to select the whole line. A 7 appears, while the whole line from end to the beginning (Home) should be selected. Same thing with the cursor at the beginning (or anywhere in a line) of a line of text. Do NumLock off. Press Shift and End. A 1 appears. No selection to end of line made.
Another way of telling : With NumLock off, press Shift and a digit key, and that number shows up in de terminal. While numlock is off.
My alternative way of working : Using Home and End on the left and right arrow key, by use of the Fn key : Shift Fn -> : tadaa line selected.
It happens on this laptop only. But in any linux of Mint (xface and Cinnamon, 19.x and 20 beta) and Linux MX, I have tested it in Linux on all kinds of text adding opportunities in Office writer, xed, geany, all the same. On this computer with windows 10 it works as expected. On my desktop computer with Linux Mint 18.3 installed, it works as expected. As it always did on all other computers with windows and linux running ...
On my businuss computer (windows 10 only) it works as expected.
Before I will install Mint 20, I will run all updates by use of the Lenovo admin utility available in windows 10. Question about this : how to keep the uefi/bios up to date with the by the manufacturer provided updates, from within Linux only ?
I hope this will be fixed in Mint 20. If I can test some improvements, please let me know. I will do !
Thanks in advance Hans
