[SOLVED] Key Binding - Akinaro - 02-23-2015
Hi.
My backspace key on my keyboard is dead. Totally. I had problem with it before but after many quick fixes that I did to this key, now its dead.

Before that, when it was still working I used xmodmap for binding other keys to different places.
But now, because its dead, I cant bind it to "delete" key(its near backspace and I dont use it anyway), because when you bind it, you need to press both keys to get their ID's...
So I'm screwed a bit... If you dont believe me, try not to use "backspace" for one day :]
Its damn hard to find keyboard for my netbook model, and those that I found have price made by some stoned junkies that have no idea what they selling, so I need to find way to bind backspace to different key on my keyboard.
Any idea how can I make it?
Maybe there is app/command that have universal ID's for every keys?

You could try opening up the keyboard (first unplug it) and use air gun to clean the electronic part and soap+water to clean the plastic cover. Maybe you have interfering gunk causing your backspace key to not work.

Hello!
As a rule, netbook keyboards cannot be disassembled for cleaning. I would recommend having a replacement on hand before you try.
I tried cleaning one somebody spilled Coke into once. No go. Had to replace the keyboard.
If quality is an issue, you may want to consider a small USB keyboard you can plug into the netbook if you lose too many more keys...
