This is a hardware hate. On some revisions of MacBook (etc) firmware,
there is a quirk such that (I forget which is which): function-modifier-up is
modifier-pgup but modifier-function-up is modfier-up.
I believe that this is fixed by firmware. It certainly was on my MacBook,
anyway, after months of annoyance.
Ooh, while we're on keyboard-related MacBook firmware hate, can we
hawk up a big shiny sputum ball of hate for the MacBook's Eject key?
It's in the very top right corner of the keyboard, snug against the
Delete and F12 keys. Pressing it ejects whatever's in the CD/DVD
drive, which happens occasionally during normal typing due to how much
of the Delete key's edge it shares.
It wouldn't be so bad if there was any way to disable it in software.
But, as the forums of several different bits of keyboard-remapping
shareware attest, this fucker is just not remappable. At all. Which
I'm most bitter about since it's the perfect place for a
forward-delete key. In the meantime, I just have to make sure to not
leave any disc I'm not using in the drive.
