Hey guys, little help here. Lately, my laptop enters the UEFI menu itself on power-on and beeps continuously without stopping. It shows a dialogue 'Exit Saving Changes? [Yes] [No] ', but none of the keys work except for the power key.

did you per chance sanctify your keyboard with some beer or wine in recent past, @RogUE ?

I have to turn the PC of with power key and turning it on again worked so far. Also, pressing Shift+) prints the ')' and triggers the context menu as well, sometimes the key combination produces ')~' in terminal(Linux) .

sounds like the [Esc] key might be stuck

or some other keyboard relate shit

@tereško Nothing I can remember.

you could rule that out by unplugging the laptops keyboard (it will have that "thin connector thing") and plugging in one of your USB keyboards

Is there a tool to show which keys are pressed in Linux?

@tereško I can't, it's under warranty.

Okay, I tried another KB(without disconnecting the laptop KB) and the context menu does not show up with this one.

Q: show keys pressed in linux

in windows there is a program called keyboard jedi that shows what keys are pressed on the keyboard. is there an equivalent for linux?

@RogUE Did you sanctify yourself too? ;)

hmmmm, google seems to have gotten annoyed, after I downloaded 150,000 photos...

errrr maybe that's 15k, I can't read now

Okay I am getting:
keycode 11 press
keycode 164 press
keycode 164 release
keycode 11 release
for the 0 key (containing ')' )

Let me check.

No, definitely not.
