Problem

My control key on the right doesn't work how it should. E.g. Right ctrl + T won't open new tabs in firefox, right ctrl + w won't switch windows in vim, etc. I know the key isn't physically broken, because shows that the right ctrl key generates events, but it just isn't responding as I expect it to…

Error Output

keycode 105 = Control_R Control_R Control_R Control_R Control_R
