I found a good site that talks about this. http://www.4momo.de/artikel__show_db__other__104.htm He mentions a tool called xev (commandline) that you can see what keycodes your keyboard is sending for these extraneous keys. In my case only two of them returned a keycode (out of 18 possible). One of the keys is being interpreted as a window switcher (alt+TAB) at the moment although I don't remember setting this. This fellow also talks about KDE and Gnome having some good tools to map keyboard stuff. I have looked into the KDE keyboard map settings and figured it would be best to leave it pretty much default. However, it is an education looking at this if you are a keyboard shortcut maniac like I am. -- Jarrod Major Registered Linux User: #224211 GPG Fingerprint: 4556 EFA8 EC69 7C54 EE33 C881 2C7C 0E10 2439 231E
