Yes, that is what I thought happened. Ctrl, LAlt/RAlt and Shift are all passed through to the OS for handling -- whatever that OS is. Fn is not; it lets laptop keyboard have multiple functions for a single key, so that they can pretend to have all the keys of much larger desktop keyboards. Note that desktops generally don't have a Fn key. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
