[SOLVED]Right Shift behaves as Left Shift

I wanted to turn on the Opposite Shift Mode on Monkeytype. This works if it detects Left Shift and Right Shift seperately.
But if i go to https://www.toptal.com/developers/keycode it shows ShiftLeft even if I press Right Shift

Re: [SOLVED]Right Shift behaves as Left Shift

evtest detects left shift and right shift. Then how do I authorize the websites for my input stack

Re: [SOLVED]Right Shift behaves as Left Shift

"not authorative" != "the website ddoesn't define what or what not works"
What display server / GUI session and browser do you use?

loginctl session-status

Re: [SOLVED]Right Shift behaves as Left Shift

That's rather unsuspicious, pc105 splits the Shifts and there's nothing else to undo that.
What's the actual xev output (notably, do you get different keycodes?)

Also

xmodmap -pk | grep -i shift

Re: [SOLVED]Right Shift behaves as Left Shift

xmodmap is unsupicious, but oc. the same keycodes must result in same symbols.

To be clear:

evtest detects left shift and right shift.

This means it reports "42/KEY_LEFTSHIFT" and "54/KEY_RIGHTSHIFT"?
Not just "42/KEY_LEFTSHIFT" for both?

What kind of keyboard is that?

Re: [SOLVED]Right Shift behaves as Left Shift

I tried xev after disabling keyd (a key remapping daemon) and now it shows both shift_L and shift_R. So the problem was keyd. I am gonna open an issue on github.
Thank you for your time

PS: There already exists multiple issues on this topic on github. Solution was to add rightshift=rightshift in config file
