As commented on by mjg: My experience is that the majority of users who run Linux on Apple hardware are also used to MacOS, and so maintaining consistency with it is worthwhile. That's entirely independent of the fact that altering this in the kernel would change the default behaviour of the system for users who are upgrading, which would be highly confusing.
Apple hardware tends to be intrinsically different to other PC hardware, and we're limited in our abilities to make it behave identically - the glaring lack of more than one mouse button is an obvious example of this. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- 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
