[SOLVED][BUG] Shift key stay pressed
« on: December 10, 2007, 03:50:17 pm »
Hi,

I got a small problem with my keyboard. I don't know if it's because of my Logitech Keyboard or because of the ubuntu driver generic keyboard or what, but if I press any of the two shift button of my keyboard, then the Shift stay "virtually" pressed in the game, making lots of action impossible to do (like targeting...).

I've noticed that if I want to reassign a key, it's marked as "Shift+<key>", even if i press Left or right shift, in which case it's wrote "Shift+LShift(or Rshift)".

Just wanted to know if it's a bug or if this is a trouble that can be corrected, and how.

Thanks by advance.

I had this once, well kind of. After installing a new version of Ubuntu, my keyboard was acting strangely.

Solution: check if you have the correct settings for your keyboard set up, in: System -> Settings -> Keyboard -> Allocation -> Keyboard Model. If yours isn't in the list, play around a bit with some alternatives, until you find one that works. :)

PS: Wrong forum section, pal. Shoulda been linux specific issues, or at least technical help :P

I was watching this and it is most definitely a local issue to his gutsy install but we want everybody to play the game and I personally don't mind helping.  I will watch this and since I have gutsy too  :).  I have tried and it is ok on my machine.
Let us know if you need more help.

Sorry for not having posted in the right section, I wasn't sure of what to do.

Thanks a lot Rongar, it wasn't the model but the config for changing of keymap allocation (it was the 2 shifts together) that caused the problem.

Solved. Thanks to you two. (too-too you too \\o//)
