I'm connecting an Apple Bluetooth Aluminum keyboard (this one) to my Lubuntu setup using the blueman
applet.
The keyboard types fine, but I would like to use its fn
key to change screen brightness changing, page-up (fn+ctrl+down), page-down (fn+ctrl+up), et cetera. Right now the fn
key doesn't seem to work.
When I use xev
, I don't see anything happen when I press fn
.
Does the keyboard not send this to the computer at all?
Do I need to configure blueman
's "Input Service" setting to make this an Apple (rather than a generic) keyboard? (It's not obvious how to do this.)
Is xev
just not showing the fn
key?
Where in this stack of software do I need to make a change to achieve the desired behaviour?
Thanks!
