This is my first time posting here. I have been working with Linux not for a bit, but I'm still getting the hang of it sometimes.
At some given point in time my save combination Ctrl+s stopped working, not in internet browsers, not in Emacs, nor gedit.. doesn't work at all. I checked if the buttons work and they do, but the combinations doesn't. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
To be more precise, Left Ctrl-S doesn't work, but Right Ctrl-S works normally, which is weird..
Not sure if related, but: I got this new laptop that has some extra keys and I wanted to assign a special function to them, so I played around with xbindkeys and it worked fine, but I don't know if it affected my combination..
Thank you all!
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64x on a Lenovo Thinkpad E540
xev
in a terminal, then confirming that left ctrl results inkeysym 0xffe3, Control_L
. Perhaps also test s (keysym 0x73, s
) and the right control too (keysym 0xffe4, Control_R
).xbindkeys
fixes it, you might want to investigatexkb
instead (or the olderxmodmap
).
