I've looked around for a while now, found no relevant answers. I've got mGBA installed on my laptop - a Linux Mint distro that's built off Ubuntu 16.04. It'll load up a game just fine, but it doesn't seem to respond to any keys other than apostrophe (which advances 1 frame) and tab (which activates the speedy frame-skipping thing I think SNES9x came up with originally).
I've tried the default keys as listed by [man mgba], I've tried setting up a config file a couple of different ways. There's no dropdown menus to work with that I can see (despite having seen them in screenshots online), or I'd be fine. I must admit, not having a GUI config option puts me out of my depth immediately - by Linux user standards, I'm firmly in the camp that needs some hand-holding.
Anyone got some suggestions as to how to get it to accept keyboard input? I'm probably missing something really dumb and easy, but I'm kinda out of ideas.
