ADB or USB keyboard?
For ADB keyboards, this might explain part of it:
int mackbd_translate(unsigned char keycode, unsigned char *keycodep,
char raw_mode)
{
if (!raw_mode) {
/*
* Convert R-shift/control/option to L version.
*/
switch (keycode) {
case 0x7b: keycode = 0x38; break; /* R-shift */
case 0x7c: keycode = 0x3a; break; /* R-option */
case 0x7d: keycode = 0x36; break; /* R-control */
}
}
*keycodep = keycode;
return 1;
}
The right shift keycode is translated to the left shift keycode which is
what you see in the showkey log. Now why there's a duplicated key event
for right shift I don't know. It doesn't happen for me. Maybe the keyboard
is configured to send the same keycode for both shift and option keys
anyway - at least I don't get a second key down on pressing the second
shift key.
