Public bug reported:
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.
