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.
Created attachment 26393 [details] [review] 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.
