Which key is ^[[4~

Hello, apparently one of the keys is stuck, because I see ^[[4~ displayed many times during the boot. What key could that be?

On my laptop ^[[4~ appears on the TTY when I press "1" on the keypad.

This sounds a lot like an X-Y problem. Do those characters continue to show up once you are logged in? If not, why would you suspect a stuck key?

No, just during the bootup, it shows really long sequence like:

^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~^[[4~

and then systemd startup messages are in between.

Sometimes when I use chromium or any other programs, it throws me to the bottom of the page, just like PgDn or down arrow.

@Xyne, yes, same here, so apparently, the END key is the culprit.
