default fn

Open bjlockie opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I can press the "fn" key and then f1... The default is the f1... keys to default to the media keys. Is there a way to swap the default so the fn key is not needed for f1... and it is required to get the media keys?

  • use the keyboard in Mac mode (so that it sends useful keycodes instead of Windows-specific shortcuts)
  • configure the Linux hid_apple driver to use function keys and swap “Option” and “Command” by creating /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf with the following content:

options hid_apple fnmode=2 swap_opt_cmd=1

Nice, I was stuck on this for a while until I swapped it to Mac mode. Thanks :smiley:

I think this breaks the screenshot key :disappointed:
