There is indeed a difference.
Thisis the output for Plasma:
--------------------
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+de+inet(evdev)+compose(lwin)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "dell(latitude)" };
--------------------
And here it is for XFCE:
--------------------
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+de+inet(evdev)+compose(lwin)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
--------------------
As we can see, in Plasma it is dell, and in XFCE it is pc104. However, due to
this, I tried setting
the keyboard to "pc104" in Plasma, but the issue stays. The function keys are
not recognized as
described in my first mail.
Maye it is a bug in Plasma? Who knows....
