From 905c9b4450352c844807a517e3ad10371fb998b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sonia Zorba Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 02:25:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] hwdb: fix backspace not working on HP Pavilion laptop (#36777) PR #34685 moved the handling of keys 66/65 from specific models to generic HP laptops. Key 66 has been linked to the `pickup_phone` function; however, this action key is not available on all HP laptop models, particularly older versions. On my HP Pavilion laptop, key 66 is mapped to the `backspace` function, which caused the backspace key to stop working after the change. The following PR fixes the issue on my **HP Pavilion Laptop 15-eg0xxx**. I have placed the modifications under the Pavilion section, but I cannot guarantee that this solution will apply to all Pavilion models. Additionally, I have included a line that checks for "HP" instead of solely searching for "Hewlett-Packard," as my model is simply labeled as HP.
