Description Benjamin Keil 2004-04-04 20:07:38 UTC 
With a Microsoft Natural Pro keyboard:

1. Open Keyboard Preferences, Layouts Tab
2. Select "Microsoft Natural Pro/Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro"
3. Close Keyboard Preferences dialog

4. Open Keyboard Shortcuts
5. Select "Launch Help Browser" and bind it to some non-multimedia key combo,
like "<Control><Shift>H"
6. Select "Log out" and press backspace to delete its keybinding.
7. Select "Sleep" and press the sleep button.

Expected Result:
The sleep function should be bound to the sleep key.

Actual Result:
Error box: The shortcut "0xe3" is already used for:
 "Log Out"

Additional Unbindable Keys:
Search: 0x78
Media: 0x81
Web/Home: 0x82

Additional problems:
"My Computer" key comes up as "Print" for keyboard shortcuts.

Also compare keycode when searching for duplicates

In cb_check_for_uniqueness only the mask and the keyval were compared with the
current entries. My special keys (powerbook G4 keyboard) only have a keycode
and not a keyval (keyval == 0), causing the keys to match with al unbound
functions.
