Thanks. I've fixed the mapping for this (undocumented) virtual key code, so hopefully this works correctly now. I've uploaded a snapshot at [1] I can't test this as the keyboards I have with an Fn key don't generate a separate keypress for that, apparently Lenovo laptops are special in this regard :-), so please let me know if this works.
