Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 AND Linux

Well running Suse 10 and just bought this keyboard With a bunch of changes I got most of the "Special Keys" working. The only 2 keys I was not able to get working were Zoom and Back and Forward Arrows. Zoom doesn't work at all whereas Back and Forward buttons I was able to almost get working but they have strange behavior within Firefox To get these keys to work I ran:

cd /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/chrome
unzip browser.jar
Then opened "contents/browser/browser.xul" in vi and searched for the following lines:



I added 2 lines after that:



saved the file and ran:

zip -rD0 browser.jar content/browser
restarted Firefox and it resulted in response by the browser but not "desired" response.
