pressed? You need the package 'libinput' installed. In terminal:<br>
<br>
% libinput debug-events<br>
<br>
And then press keys. Also open another terminal so you can kill<br>
libinput when you're done.<br>
<br>
If libinput does not see anything, then the actual driver does not see<br>
the key being pressed; then it's a question how to make the driver<br>
detect the event.<br>
