This *is* a Mac-specific thing. On non-mac machines, the OS is not aware of fn
key presses.
Instead, at the hardware level, the fn key changes the scan codes of different
keys, so that
physical keys take on different meanings with the fn modifier. 

On mac this is different since the fn key press is actually sent to the OS.
