I recently installed Kubuntu and I'm very pleased with it. However, I have one issue that bothers me. I need to use Shift+F12 in my Java IDE quite a lot, but this key combination doesn't work anymore. When I first realised this I searched through the configuration and found a binding for Shift+F12, which I promptly deleted. But this didn't work. I then tried running xev, and the output from here is as follows:
As you can see, the F12 keypress seems to just disappear and turn into that strange KeyMapNotify event. Today I also discovered that the same goes for Ctrl+F12, but not for Shift+Ctrl+F12.
This is really annoying as I use both combinations *very* frequently when writing Java code. Which I do 8 hours a day
Hope someone can help.
