Hi, I'm using Artix with the Legacy Kernel on a Thinkpad X13 Yoga Gen3 with i3.
I recently bound the XF86Go Keysym (F10 with Fn-Lock off) to a custom script in the i3 config. It worked fine like all other keybindings, then it suddenly stopped working. I tried the following things:
Tested the script, it works.
Used xev to scan for keypresses, in there the key didn't trigger a KeyPress event, although some other keys which clearly worked didn't trigger a KeyPress event either, only some focus changes due to the notifications those keys triggered. For example, XF86AudioVolumeUp (F3) didn't trigger a KeyPress event, but raised the volume and showed a notification that it did. That's new behaviour to me.
Used evtest to scan for keypresses, in there most keys on my F-Row didnt trigger, although most clearly worked.
Started a clean X-session by logging into the F2 virtual terminal and running xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1 and using xev there, which showed almost all F-row keys, except for XF86Go (F10, the key in question) and the two keys adjacent to it.
Is there something else I could be overlooking or is my keyboard just broken? Any idea why some F-row keys don't trigger a KeyPress event but still work?
Thank you very much for your time!
Could it be the keyboard has an FN-Lock key that was pressed by accident?

Good idea, just tried it with the Fn-Lock on/off but didn't change anything... :\
