@Frédéric Grosshans: It's a mis-feature at best. 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. Switching /sys/module/hid/parameters_pb_fnmode to 2 on non-laptop Apple keyboards seems like the best solution. Make it then an option for people who want it to run like OS X. -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 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
