Ed, I believe that it should work for cf18 as well, based upon a quick glance at the code.
https://github.com/heiher/panasonic-hbt ... nic-hbtn.c file states:
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("ACPI Tablet Button driver for Panasonic CF-18/19 laptops");
There is no differentiation between cf18/19 in the code. It uses the same keymap for everything:
[code]static const struct key_entry panasonic_keymap[] = {
{ KE_KEY, 0x0, { KEY_RESERVED } },
{ KE_KEY, 0x4, { KEY_SCREENLOCK } }, /* Screen lock */
{ KE_KEY, 0x6, { KEY_DIRECTION } }, /* Screen rotate */
{ KE_KEY, 0x8, { KEY_ENTER } }, /* Enter */
{ KE_KEY, 0xA, { KEY_KEYBOARD } }, /* Soft keyboard */
{ KE_END, 0 }
};[/code]

That's right. If anybody tried my script, please report here. I noticed there's a measly 6 downloads on it so far.
It would help if we could do a follow-up discussion on how to assign the rotate script to the buttons with common hotkey config utils.

I am guessing that was on the last day of that job and his bosses PC.

I tried it with my CF-18KHHMXBM running Xubuntu 16.04. Typing "rotate" in the CLI worked. I'm still not sure how to assign functions to the front keys, though.
Brightness keys have always worked and the "enter" button seems to work (though I'm not sure what use it is). Otherwise,

I presume xubuntu runs XFCE, so try
select xfce-keyboard-shortcuts and hit the New button to create one for the rotate button.
Assign command
to string value
Let me know if xfce4-settings-editor isn't found or if you're running another window manager.

He was fired because his monthly sales reports were full of baloney.

Huh. The settings editor was found, but the new button I tried to create did not work. I think I have to take a few steps back. Just ran acpi_listen and the only front keys that returned an output were the brightness keys.
