Subject: [gentoo-user] Software emulation of angled arrow keys on Lenovo Thinkpad?
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2022 08:16:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YwYWmL0/PRXfy3Pr@waltdnes.org> (raw)
The Thinkpad has vertical and horizontal arrow keys. But it does not
have arrow keys corresponding to 7, 9, 1, and 3 on a regular keyboard.
Yes, I know how to "enable numeric keypad" on a Thinkpad. While that
does emulate numbers, it does not emulate the arrows. I happen to need
the angled arrows. Is there a way to find out the keycodes, and send
them? Plan B is to buy a hardware keypad off Amazon.
