keys are randomly pressed

Hi all,

I don't know if this is an issue with Arch Linux and my configuration, or an actual hardware problem.

At random intervals, I get ^[OH on my terminal.  If I hit any key, I will stop getting the ^[OH key press.  Also, my workspaces randomly get expanded from 4 to 6 or 8.

Any ideas?  I'm working on a Dell and have already had a key 'fall off'.

Re: keys are randomly pressed

enable debugging for the wm you are using and see which keys are being caught when that happens again.

Actually, the problem was the window manager had that key mapped to something else.
