Today my keyboard started responding weird while I was writing in an editor. First there was no problem, but after a while the keyboard did only respond on very hard key strokes. I have to push a key with pressure until the very end and only then I can trigger an key stroke event.

I did not change any configuration nor did I change my hardware setup.* Maybe I have pressed an uncommon shortcut combination. I also noticed that this only affects my user. When I am logged out or on another user account then there is no problem. Thus I exclude any hardware problem.

In which user configuration file/folder can I find the potential troublemaker for the keyboard? Is there maybe a threshold I could change?

Where I looked for it yet:

  • .bashrc which is working fine under another user account.
  • .dbus which I renamed an then logged in, but the problem was still there.
  • .local which I renamed an then logged in, but the problem was still there.
  • [20:00] Yet I know, it must be somewhere in .config, because when I renamed it to .config.bkp an logged in all was fine.
  • [20:22] its not in .config/ibus/
  • [20:26] it is somewhere in .config/dconf/

*Now you probably think (and you should), that of course I must have changed something to make this happen, but it wasn't me as far as I can remember. I just was programming with the atom editor and the fancy programming language julia - plotting charts with "Plots" and not "Gadfly" - sorry Gadfly team, but Plots has the better syntax.
