On Macintosh keyboards there is a key called fn that is used to give the
function keys more functionality. Does this key exist in the keyboard keys
database?
When you say "Macintosh keyboards" are you talking about the old style
keyboards with Apple's custom ADB connector, or simply Apple branded
USB keyboards ?
USB keyboards.
If its the latter (USB), then please plug it into a Linux machine, and
in a text console (ie not X11) run 'showkey' and press this 'fn' key on
its own and tell me what (if any) hex code gets printed.
There was no response to the fn key.
Doh, I made a mistake - you need to run 'showkey -s' to get raw scancodes.
Can you try this again, pressing 'fn' on its own, and also press 'fn' in
combination with some function keys.
