Public bug reported:
I posted this last night and got a response suggesting that I report a
"bug" which is what Im doing here (I think):
I just installed LUBUNTU 18.04 LTS x86_64 on a brand new Dell Inspiron 11-3162
but the "Home | End | PgUp | PgDn" functionality does not work. I'm a first
time user of any Linux Ubuntu after having ditched Windows 10 and saying
goodbye to Windows forever (I hope). I'm learning about Linux as fast as I can
but cannot figure this out and would be infinitely grateful for help or even
the solution.
On to the problem:
On this particular keyboard you have to hit Fn+LeftArrow for Home, or
Fn+RightArrow for End, Fn+UpArrow for PgUp and Fn+DownArrow for PgDn.
The crazy part is the first time I use one of these functions it works.
But if I try and go "home" or "end" a second time, nothing happens. I
have to reboot to be able to do it again for the first time, and then
nothing the second time.
Strangely, I do not have this problem in the FIle manager PCManFM (ie
the Fn + arrow keys all work to get me home, end, PgUp or PgDn.)
Also, the Function key does work with other features ... for example
the Fn+F2 and F3 de/increase the volume; Fn+F12 brightens the screen ;
Fn+F1 mutes the sound.
