the labels on the function keys are just alternate meanings, not alternate scancodes. i.e., the key labeled 'network neighborhood' on an XO has always generated the F1 scancode. this will continue to be the case, with no modifiers required. i believe the only keys the Fn key modifies, currently, are the arrow keys, which generate pgup/pgdn/home/end when modified by Fn. (yes, you've been caught by an ambiguity in the keytop labeling.) paul > > Tiago > > On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 2:49 PM, Mikus Grinbergs <mi...@bga.com> wrote: > > > > The following are the keyboard layouts and legends for these > > > new keyboards.
