Frédéric is creating links between the multiple issues. There's also some strong arguments in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/201887 for why the current default behaviour is wrong.
I wrote there, in support of the same arguments eloquently made by Tommy, Luke, Nicolas and Raphael: --------8<-------- Ubuntu isn't OS X, and Apple sell these keyboards as any other keyboard manufacturer. They are Apple keyboards, not Mac keyboards; therefore trying to enforce they work like Macs - when they might well not be being used on Mac hardware, and definitely not OS X - is at least partially incorrect. It'd be different if the keys were *obviously* volume/brightness/dashboard/exposé and not F1, F2, F3 etc. However the hotkeys and the fn keys are given equal prominence. The third argument is that not all of the keys have special purposes, so they should do the base action - function keys without a modifier, first and foremost. -- 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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
