From 2b0c59baa23c04475579def2ab3c7945eaf67b4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Pitt Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 21:17:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hwdb: map zoomin/out keys to up/down Some keyboards come with a zoom see-saw or rocker which until now got mapped to the Linux "zoomin/out" keys in hwdb. However, these keycodes are not recognized by any major desktop. They now produce Up/Down key events so that they can be used for scrolling. The internet is full of instructions how to "unbreak" these keys, e. g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/471802/make-the-zoom-slider-of-microsoft-natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000-and-7000-scrol https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/322075/how-to-get-ms-natural-ergonomic-4000-slider-work-on-linux-mint So let's make it official. But keep their physical meaning in comments in case desktops start to do something useful with them at some point. Thanks to Finn Christiansen for the original patch!
