Old laptop F11 key is broken ..how to solve in windows 7 and linux(debian 10)?

Hi all.

Adding this note so that i dont forget.

Btw recently im starting to use back my old laptop.

And noticed that the keyboard key for f11 is broken man!. broken!. so the effect of this brokenness is my browser keep resizing from full mode to normal mode. yeah that's the shortcut key.

And when i'm on my virtual box linux, the browser + the terminal window will keep maximizing and back to normal window size.

Watch this to understand what im trying

This is damn irritating. and it slowed down my work....which then i have to switch back to use my office laptop...

Ok then to verify this on windows i ll need to use a tester tool called keyboard test software . for linux this can be verify easily using xev tool.

After verifying. yeah its true that the key is broken!




After googling around found out the workaround for it.

1. need to disable the key. for windows i can only achieve that by using an external tool again! this time a tool called simple-disable-key

thus i disabled the key on windows. and notice the behavior still happening virtual box linux.

need to run command

xmodmap -x "keycode 95 = "

which means assign the key to nothing...

and close the terminal and verify that the issue no longer happening.
