Description
There are some X11/XCB keysyms which are not recognised by Qt and hence cannot be part of a QKeySequence, processed by an application etc. They are defined by standard X11 (i.e. are not XF86 or any other vendor specific), and can be generated by, for example, a Sun Type 6 keyboard.
The keys which I have available and are observed as affected are:
XK_Undo = 0xff65
XK_Redo = 0xff66
XK_Find = 0xff68
XK_Cancel = 0xff69
The logical mappings would be to Qt::Key_Undo, Qt::Key_Redo, Qt::Key_Find and Qt::Key_Cancel respectively. However, there is no entry for any of these keys in the KeyTbl[] array in src/plugins/platforms/xcb/qxcbkeyboard.cpp and hence they are not recognised.
QTBUG-8956 refers to the same problem with a different list of missing keys, but that bug is ancient and was never actioned.
