Key not recognised by SDL

Just as I was writing some test programs for SDL2, I came across a key not recognised by SDL warning when I plug/unplug the laptop charger.

The original warning message is as follows:

The key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list X11 KeyCode 248 (240), X11 KeySym 0x0 ((null)).

This problem (technically, not a problem) occurs at my Asus with ‘Ubuntu 13.04/Gnome3 fallback session’

Apart from fixing the issue itself, perhaps the email address should be updated to reflect the actual one, which is sdl at lists.libsdl.org, (or am I just missing something over here?)

By the way, I want to express my pleasure to see so many bug fixes over the last few days, congrats SDL2 team!!!------------------------

Huh… plugging the laptop charged is handled as a key by that laptop? o_O

Probably yeah, I found it equally weird, but it can be something with X11 (wild guess) since there are no such warnings under XP (same laptop)

I would love the converse and have a keypress plug/unplug the charger…

hey @all

sorry to reply to such an old thread…
for me the same message / KeyCode popped up in a different setting:
(and i also first tried to write to the old mailing list…)

I have a project that uses SDL (https://github.com/mkalten/reacTIVision)

if i hit the FN-Key to toggle my automatic display background light i get this line in the log:

The key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list sdl@libsdl.org X11 KeyCode 248 (240), X11 KeySym 0x0 ((null)).

Its an DELL Latitude E6510 with German (QWERTZ) Keyboard Layout.

iam running this on Kubuntu 17.04.

so hope that helps in some way :slight_smile:

sunny greetings :sun_with_face:
