OK, my last word on this subject. I can only conclude that there is some kind of goofy multi-way interaction going on between Lazarus and other programs. I have tried multiple versions of Lazarus, using both the gtk2 and qt5 versions of fpcupdeluxe. In all cases, I saw the i -> tab & i and m -> newline. I do NOT see this on the Debian-based version of Mint running in a virtual machine, and I also set up another VM with the same Ubuntu-based version of Mint (19.3 64-bit) as I have on the host. Neither VM showed the problem with Lazarus! The final straw is that I just set up a new PC for my wife, again Ubuntu Mint 19.3, and out of curiosity, I installed Lazarus. The keys worked fine. I have no idea what is going on. I reiterate that I have removed all config files, using the combination of wkitty42's commandline magic *and* my kfinds, and that I have done absolutely no key remapping nor macro defining. Twice, and ONLY twice, I have had the problem go away after a rebuild of FPC and Lazarus, but rebooting the PC brought the problem back again. I've given up. I have wasted enough time on trying to sort this problem. At least as long as it all works, I will just use Lazarus in a VM, and transfer the completed source files to my host machine for a final compilation. Brian. -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
