Issue with multi-button shortcuts on Linux (Logitech G502)

My shortcuts for changing tabs in browser (Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab) stopped working in Linux. Instad they just expand to Tab. Pressing the actual keys on the keyboard to change tabs works fine. I've opened Windows and it works fine in there. Every other shortcuts works fine.

Anyone else ever had this issue?

Stopped working when? After an update? What was updated? In what browser (version)? What shortcuts? Using what tool? etc.

Please read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way and include some useful information in your post.

The description in the post (ignored/missing ctrl modifier) significantly differs from the one in the reddit link (laggy input), so please clarify the actual situation, the xev behavior, your desktop environment display server and input driver.

Re: Issue with multi-button shortcuts on Linux (Logitech G502)

I have this issue too, was in a recent update, but no clue what caused it since I don't reboot frequently and applied several months of updates without a restart to load fresh.

@Ketchup901
Seems that the mouse is sending the keys in reverse order, so thus it doesn't work
eg: ctrl + t = keycode 37 + keycode 28

xev now see's it as 28 then 37

edit:

libinput 1.9.3 has a bug, manually downgrade to 1.9.2

That's probably a libinput bug, try xf86-input-evdev
