Hello List,

I have run into this issue previously with fluxbox that certain keys are 
not working and the solution which always worked was to clean up the 
keys, apps file.
In this case even if I delete the whole fluxbox profile and start with a 
clean one I have the exact same issue. All the keys are working except 
the mentioned ones and it is not program related (does the same in 
aterm, eterm, gnome terminal, gedit etc).

The system is:


No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial


Fluxbox is:

Fluxbox 1.3.7 : (c) 2001-2015 Fluxbox Team

Here is what I capture with xev when pushing these keys (in order):

Any ideas for solution?

I would also like to thank the Fluxbox team for their great work, I use 
Fluxbox on many desktop boxes/laptops since 10 years and I going to use 
Fluxbox 4ever!
