Try changing the debug reporting level from RPT_DEBUG to RPT_NOTICE in 
function picoLCD_get_key in file server/drivers/picolcd.c and rebuilding 
with debug enabled.

./configure --enable-drivers=picolcd  --enable-debug  --enable-lcdproc-menus
make

Then run the server with debug reporting and see what is reported when 
you press a key.

./server/LCDd -fr3 -c ./LCDd.conf

The key definitions from my configuration file are as below, much as 
Markus suggested.

# The "...Key=" lines define what the server does with keypresses that

# don't go to any client. The ToggleRotateKey stops rotation of screens, while

# the PrevScreenKey and NextScreenKey go back / forward one screen (even if

# rotation is disabled.

# Assign the key string returned by the driver to the ...Key setting. These

# are the defaults:

ToggleRotateKey=Enter

PrevScreenKey=Left

NextScreenKey=Right

ScrollUpKey=Up

ScrollDownKey=Down


## The menu section. The menu is an internal LCDproc client. ##

[menu]

# You can configure what keys the menu should use. Note that the MenuKey

# will be reserved exclusively, the others work in shared mode.


# Up to six keys are supported. The MenuKey (to enter and exit the menu), the

# EnterKey (to select values) and at least one movement keys are required.

# These are the default key assignments:

#MenuKey=Escape

MenuKey=F5

EnterKey=Enter

UpKey=Up

DownKey=Down

LeftKey=Left

RightKey=Right

Regards,

Martin
