Hi Nio,

That is very odd that this happened.  Do not feel stupid, as developers
of ToriOS it is our job to make things easy for the user.  So, if we can
avoid this issue in the future then we should.

Can you tell me the xev info about that key? Here is an example from the
'My Computer button' on this computer.

KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0xf6, subw 0x0, time 40162740, (874,187), root:(974,337),
    state 0x0, keycode 165 (keysym 0x1008ff33, XF86MyComputer),
same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

I'd like to know how to interact with that key event IF it is pressed. 
Possibly open the touchpad settings? Though I suppose it is supposed to
work the way it was working?
