Hi,

I would like to report that with revision: git-5475-g9a195de, Enter key on the numeric pad acts like spacebar, and Ctrl+W prints a literal W.

    I suppose you mean ubuntu 14.10. It's known that ubuntu can have problems with qt applications shortcuts, due to the way they try to integrate them. The relevant bug should be: https://bugs.launchpad.net/appmenu-qt5/+bug/1380702
    Afaik there are some known workarounds, but your mileage may vary.

    Hum.. 14.04 shouldn't be affected by that bug; sorry.
    Anyway,building with qt5 could be a good try; i suggest you not to use ubuntu's own version, but to attempt using a more recent qt version like this one: https://launchpad.net/~beineri/+archive/ubuntu/opt-qt541

    Sorry, i linked a ppa for "precise" instead of the correct one for "trusty".
    Please have a look at https://launchpad.net/~beineri for the correct ppa

    I'd wait until Ubuntu fixes it, honestly.

    @kartagis If this is Ubuntu Bug should be reported to Ubuntu, Else you can wait forever here with this report.
    Are you going to report it to them or find out f they have already such report? If it exists or you make a report, please link it here in your reply. Thanks.

    Ill trust what wodim and ctrlaltca say and mark this as 3rd party.

    I was investigating this because it bugs me also...

    With xev command you are able to see a crucial difference between normal enter key and numbpad enter

    Numbpad Enter

    KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
    root 0x17b, subw 0x3800002, time 12012706, (38,47), root:(640,487),
    state 0x10, keycode 104 (keysym 0xff8d, KP_Enter), same_screen YES,
"   XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) "
    XFilterEvent returns: False

    Normal Enter

    KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
    root 0x17b, subw 0x3800002, time 12008930, (38,47), root:(640,487),
    state 0x10, keycode 36 (keysym 0xff0d, Return), same_screen YES,
"   XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) "
    XFilterEvent returns: False

    So I think its a question (for a workaround) to remap (keysym 0xff8d, KP_Enter) to (keysym 0xff0d, Return)*

    No idea how to fix that (properly) in Ubuntu and friends though

    Remap on Ubuntu? Will that not break existing functionality?

    I ran this commad

    xmodmap -e "keycode 104 = Return"

    and now my Numbpad Enter Key under xev reports

    KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
    root 0x17b, subw 0x0, time 15091454, (163,-15), root:(765,425),
    state 0x10, keycode 104 (keysym 0xff0d, Return), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 36
"   XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) "
    XFilterEvent returns: False

    And behaves like Enter Key does.
