I've been using the Microsoft Sculpt keyboard for about a week with almost no issue. The one problem I'm seeing is that the Ctrl+F keyboard combo doesn't seem to work anywhere in my OS, other shortcuts like Ctrl+C work everywhere, it's just this one key combo that doesn't appear to be working.
I ran xev to see what they keyboard was sending and when pressing just Ctrl I see:
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
root 0x2cf, subw 0x0, time 1925315667, (906,904), root:(2921,1063),
state 0x10, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
When I press just the F key I see:
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
root 0x2cf, subw 0x0, time 1925295460, (906,904), root:(2921,1063),
state 0x10, keycode 41 (keysym 0x66, f), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (66) "f"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (66) "f"
XFilterEvent returns: False
When both are pressed I see:
FocusIn event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 0 0 0 0 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
This doesn't seem to be the right output. Is there a simple way to fix this, or an easy way to map Ctrl+F to a function key that I'm not using?
