If used in a combination with the most other keys -- doesn't matter sequentially
or simultaneously -- four input events are generated: - "Alt" pressed
- "key" pressed
- "key" released
- "Alt" released
But, the upper row keys, i.e. QWERTYUIOP combined with the "Alt"
do non produce Alt/ event sequences like shown above,
they simulate numbers instead. For example, pressing and releasing Alt/Q causes
the following input messages to be generated:
So, by design it is not possible to enter the Alt/Q .. Alt/P sequences from
the Kindle keyboard. This is true at least for K3W and KDXG models. |
so how to fix it?
you know, <Alt>+Q and <Alt>+W just work fine.
