Remapped keys on Debian not recognised correctly #227133

Open ani-rbnm opened 2 weeks ago

ani-rbnm commented 2 weeks ago

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. A bunch of modifier keycodes on the keyboard are mapped to alternative ones at the OS level (Xmodmap). One example is the "alt" key mapped to "ctrl".
  2. keyboard.dispatch: "keyCode" set in settings.json.
  3. Testing keymappings with "Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting", we see that "alt" correctly maps to "ctrl" when used by itself.
  4. As soon as it is pressed with another key, it resets back to the original value. In other words, press "alt" -> outputs "ctrl" correctly press "alt + a" -> prints "alt + a"
