Linux 64 bit using Blender 2.78a software. When I try to do an edge select under the User Preferences- "Input configured for Maya" the "edge select doesn't work". If I change the input to "Blender input then it work".

The edge select doesn't work while using the "Maya input". Works fine using the "Blender input". I came from the Maya world and 3DS Max which uses the left click for selecting.

There are two presets settings.
The one on the top of User Preferences window is about keymap.

The one on the left of the window is about mouse.

In blender 2.4x series, keymaps could not be changed but there was a basic switch between left and right click.
One click was referenced as "action button" and the other one as "select button".

This switch is still present. Maya keymap preset uses it.

So, if you change keymap preset without changing mouse button switch, shortcuts that are relative to Select Mouse Button and not to Left click are still expecting a left click.

Be sure to enable both Maya presets.

I made the changes a stated above ( selecting the Maya presents on the left and at the top of the page at the "input preferences page"" and now there are a number of items that doesn't work anymore. There are a lot of problems now but I like to think you for trying to help me fix these problems. I'm sure other people are having problems with this but are not saying anything about it for various reasons. The edge select still doesn't work and the navigation in the window doesn't work and hitting the "A" button in edit mode doesn't work for deselected and I am sure that there are a lot of other things that doesn't work that I haven't tried yet.

thanks again!!!

I went back to take another look into the problems with Blender 2.78a Linux 64 OS under the Maya inputs under the "Input preferences pages" located at the side of the page as well as the top. I found these additional problems.

Num pad numbers don't work. I checked the "num lock Key"
X key doesn't work
G key doesn't work
R key doesn't work
S key doesn't work. It invoke the "key-frame menu"
E key doesn't work
A key doesn't work
Shift - A doesn't work
You can't navigate on the main page or any page except for zooming in or out

I'm certain there are more but this is a good starting point...

This works fine here. The only difference I see is that I am using the latest code base. Can you test with a daily build from https://builder.blender.org/download/
