Dan Linden hello i tried the same Z on my side spending a little more time testing it ... in fact the Z key moves my ava forward if i type shift Z (same as saving shift z) tested on my Asus laptop as well as my turtle beach keyboard ... but not working on my Zelotes mouse as it needs a real Z

The strange thing is that other letters don't have that problem, which makes me think that the SL viewer has a process elsewhere managing that keystroke.

PS: system = Linux with an AZERTY keyboard

PS2: same problem under Phoenix Firestorm

FYI the Zelotes c18 is a vertical mouse + "joystick" dedicated to graphical arts and gamers, knowing that its joystick only has 4 positions corresponding to a keyboard mapping. Cf. https://zelotes.cn/en/Products/Show_56.html i-e same in terms of mapping as if you add a 4 buttons keyboard. BTW It is also a great device for some impaired users.

Woolfyy Resident: If you leave the mouse out of the picture, does pressing Z on the AZERTY keyboard walk forward after you've mapped it in Second Life's controls?

Dan Linden as i mentioned the Z seems not to be managed correctly as it is needed to press shift + Z when Z is stored according to your description. Do you have a Linux viewer on your side ? (more than a decade that i stopped using Windows bloatware).

Anyway as i mentioned too the strange thing is that the problem is just on Z 'not other keys), which makes me think that there could be a software bug BTW the thing that i saw on your wiki is that you use the Z for calibration or so.

PS; I made my extra tests with a normal mouse connected so that it doesn't be said that the Zilotes C18 was the problem. My keyboard is AZERTY and i can't change it as I just have notebooks. Anyway may it be Asus or HP notebooks, 24.04 or 26.04 LTS the problem stays.

Hello Dan Linden could you replicate the bug on your side ?

Woolfyy Resident:

I could reproduce the issue while in Mouselook mode, but not in regular 3rd person view. So that, at least, seems like a bug. It reproduced on Ubuntu and Windows 11. (didn't check Mac)

Are you in mouselook while walking with the Z key?

Dan Linden nope i am in regular mode under Linux Pop!_OS which means Ubuntu in both cases Wayland based may it be 24.04 or 26.04 Linux kernel 7.1.5-76070105-generic the only thing that i saw on your wiki is the Z key use that i mentioned previously which makes me think that you have a related bug the strange thing too is that when you save Z as the keypress it doesnt work but if you type shift z it is considered as working though it is supposed to be a different entry in your keybord. technically when you map keystroks Z (one key pressed) is not shift z (2 keys pressed) controls

Woolfyy Resident: I'm using a QWERTY keyboard with Ubuntu. I switched the keyboard mapping in Ubuntu to AZERTY (French). I mapped the Z key to forward in Second Life. I pressed the physical W key (which is now mapped to Z) to walk forward and that worked. This is effectively the same as what you are doing, right?

Dan Linden yes it is the way i tested it on my side; knowing that i upraded all my systems to 26.04 and as far as i remember they are by default also under Wayland in the native Ubuntu that you are using.
