Frankly, I am stunned that this ridiculous behaviour has made it into
the Hardy release. The suggestion that this is the behaviour that most
users would want or expect is quite preposterous.
If I plug a standard keyboard into a machine running OS X it behaves the
same as if I plug in an Apple keyboard. the same should be true on
linux. In OS X, the function keys are not used all that frequently, in
linux they are.
If you take the argument to it's conclusion, surely you should map
command-c to copy and command-v to paste. Surely this half based hack
satisfies no one.
Why does this need to be done in the kernel anyway? Could it not have
been accomplished in console tools and X? That way users could choose if
they wanted to customize their linux setup to be more like OS X.
I still not found any way to get my keyboard to behave as it did under
Gusty: function keys as function keys, num lock as num lock and the
backquote and backslash back where I expect them (UK layout).
