@Colin , @James Yes, I understand the patch is not perfect solution, user will need to repeat key pressing until it is trigged.
The author of the patch , Cyrus have tried the menuentry --hotkey option, but It does not fit our need because we hope the hotkey can still be trigged even menu is hidden (like sleep command does). by current design, the --hotkey option only works when menu is not hidden . ** Changed in: oem-priority/precise Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: oem-priority Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178618 Title: add a command to detect function key status.
