Agreed. The logic behind making the new default is based on assumptions which are surely wrong.
The logic behind making this default, whether it's terrible or sensible, take place in the kernel instead of in X or the desktop environment is inexplicable. The logic behind requiring the user to manually edit a system startup shell script, _correctly_, _to a moving target_ (name of hid module in sysfs changes in different kernel versions) and all that that implies, instead of in some gnome menu is also inexplicable. I'm using an Apple keyboard on a generic pc running Ubuntu simply because it's a great, and great looking keyboard. The fact that Apple makes this keyboard in no way implies that I want my Linux system to emulate OS/X. Add another vote to the pile that says, regardless of hardware combination (Apple keyboard on generic pc, Apple keyboard as part of Apple laptop or pc) it is most reasonable to expect, and most reasonable to supply, Linux behavior on Linux! -- Apple fn key behavior isn't consistent with what's expected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201711 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
