Description Öyvind Saether 2010-12-25 13:17:50 UTC
I use evdev for my keyboard and a key didn't work. I noticed that the key is in

keycodes/evdev:
<I224> = 224;   // #define KEY_CHAT                216

However, 224 is commented out in

symbols/inet:    
//key <I224>   {      [ XF86Messenger         ]       }; // KEY_CHAT

I simply uncommented the above line and now I can (ab)use this key. I also noticed there are serveral keys listed but commented out in this file. 

Why are they commented out? If there are no special reason then perhaps they should not be?

I use x11-misc/xkeyboard-config listed in Gentoo as 2.0-r1.

That was committed back in 2007 as a part of 12228. I am uncommenting Messenger, Game, Go in evdev sections, if James does not mind.
