| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@thompsbrian: @schestowitz Very strange analogy but yeah... they're Github pieces, not Git pieces. | May 01 06:54 | |
| schestowitz | > I don't believe Fn registers to the OS. Fn+F1 sends the F1 keyboard code, F1 minus Fn sends sleep. This is a hardware problem. | May 01 06:54 |
| schestowitz | > | May 01 06:54 |
| schestowitz | > You might get away with remapping sleep to F1 and F1 to sleep, because F1 and sleep each have a scancode, but Fn does not. | May 01 06:54 |
| schestowitz | > | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | > On the other hand, there are two hardware solutions (depending on your BIOS and keyboard layout) that are options. One is FnLk. It will make your keyboard act like Fn is always pressed. The other is a BIOS setting on how to treat function keys. | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | > | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | > Your computer probably has at least one of these. I've found wireless keyboards that are quite annoying without the FnLk option (the worst ones always have it; not having FnLk on is what makes them the "worst".) | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | > | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | > But your OS has no idea Fn is being pressed. Only your keyboard knows, and it won't tell anybody but the keyboard itself. | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | Wow. | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | This is really terrible design. | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | And it seems like all new laptops work like this, even Rianne's. | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | In the meantime I an SUPER SUPER (super key?) careful NOT to press Fn and over time I get used to this layout. | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | I still cannot type too fast on this machine. But in a matter of years, if this keyboard doesn't break, it'll improve. | May 01 06:55 |
| schestowitz | > Back on track-- found more. Tsk... | May 01 06:56 |
| schestowitz | > | May 01 06:56 |
| schestowitz | > Can't promise to meet the timeline you've teased with, but it's moving along nicely enough that it could still happen. I know it wasn't a promise on your part or mine. | May 01 06:56 |
| schestowitz | speed is not a problem at all | May 01 06:56 |
| schestowitz | the thing isn't based on a new thing that has just happened but an ongoing issue nobody talks about | May 01 06:56 |
