> The ESC key does not work in vi or gvim.
And going back to previous KDE version fixes this? Note that neither vi nor gvim are KDE applications.
It is possible you also updated other packages together with KDE while using the "dist-upgrade" command.
I still have the upgrade in a screen scrollback, see below. While vi/gvim are not, konsole and klipper are and they are experiencing the same problems. The test I described: From a shell Ctrl-V <ESC> <CR> prints ^M, indicating that the <ESC> was not seen. is from konsole. Note that the same test also fails with the same results in gnome-terminal indicating that it's not specific to any one application, but rather to an upper level keyboard handler. I tried to change the keyboard type to more closely match what I have, an MS ergo 4000, but this had no effect. I have not tried to revert this upgrade. I don't know how to do that easily. I can remove the ppa, but how to force the older versions to be reinstalled without pinning each in an apt/preferences file? Here's the upgrade output after adding the kde backport ppa: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade...

Need to get 607MB of archives. After this operation, 171MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y Thanks for the information. The only suspicious package update that could have caused a change is "userconfig" (not really sure what it does). Could you try creating a new fresh user account, log in there, and check if the problem persists? Does the Esc key work in normal contexts, such as closing a dialog? The actual keyboard model should not matter, since the keys you mentioned are basic ASCII keys which are standard on all keyboards. The Klipper problem is probably related to the switch to new D-Bus based menus (and I think there are already bug reports for Klipper), but I see no changes in Konsole that could affect the Esc key problem, so I assigned the bug to Konsole developers for further investigation. If you find more applications where the keyboard behaves incorrect, please add that information. A fresh user account does NOT exhibit this problem, the ESC works as expected everywhere I was having issues on my account. It's not specific to konsole. gnome-terminal and xterm ALL have the same problem. So, this begs the question, what files to I need to delete from my account to make it work again? I hate deleting ~/.kde* :-( Although it does seem to be required on every major KDE upgrade to make it work properly. I renamed ~/.kde and it's OK now. Although, as usual, I have to reconfigure everything again now... Grumble. You can start by coping files from your backup to .kde again. There are only few files in .kde that could affect the keyboard, for example start with files such as .kde/share/config/khotkeyrc. That's OK, I have the major stuff reconfigured again. Seems like this is a common problem in that ~/.kde doesn't port well to different versions of KDE. Thanks for your help. -Bruce Right, but that does not mean that it could not be fixed. In case you can pinpoint the offending file, please inform us. I will just keep the bug open, but there is no need to hurry :) What you could also do is check what the package "userconfig" actually does. It might be an downstream bug (Ubuntu), in case that package really modifies users' configuration files on installation or update.
