[Lubuntu] FN key not printing vertical bar, instead mapping to "Control+Alt+less" key combination

Asked by Kerem Gümrükcü

Hi,

not really sure whether this is a bug or a bad (automatic setup) configuration of Lubuntu . After installing Lubuntu 22.04 LTS (5.15.0-30-generic), i found out that i cant type the vertical bar "|" sign into the terminal. The key is invoked with the FN key on the keyboard. On Windows (11) it works fine. On Lubuntu it jumps to the very first entry in the history. Having a closer look at the keycodes, it is recognized by the shotcut managers detection button as "Control+Alt+less" combination. Not sure how to map this on a system wide scope to the "|" sign/character. Locale is plain german, keyboard too with 105 Keys. The Key FN+< works as expected, FN+> too, but FN+| leads to a "Control+Alt+less".

Any ideas?

thx

What kind of keyboard is this?

On a standard German keyboard the <, > and | characters are located on the same physical key (bottom left; without modifier, with shift and with AltGr respectively), so FN+<, FN+> and FN+| do not make any sense to me.

Hi Manfred,

sorry for being not very specific about the keyboard. Its a keyb. on a netbook with a QWERTZ layout. The manufacturer is Denver model "DENVER NID-14106SSDDE". The FN keys are located Y(<), X(>) and on C(|). I have never seen a layout/mapping like that before too.
