Is there any possibility that this 'normal' F1-F15 behaviour could be switchable using the GNOME System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts->Options dialog? That would be the best solution that allows people to reconfigure according to their wishes?
-- Apple fn key behavior isn't consistent with what's expected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Suse: Fix Released Bug description: Hi, this is a follow up to bug 162083. With my newly functional FN key on my Aluminum BT keyboard, I realized that the default behavior on it doesn't make much sense with what users have come to expect on Linux systems. The default behavior is that the "special keys", like f1-f2-f10-f11-etc all act "special" without pressing fn. They then act normally when you hold FN. This is the default behavior on Mac OSX, but on Linux the FN keys are more commonly used. Eg, it's rather awkward to have to press ctrl-alt-fn-f1 to switch to a VT, or FN-F11 to set a terminal full screen. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
