Fn key combination for F1 through F7 not working properly on ANSI keyboard #27

Open jbrockc opened 3 years ago

Yesterday, I ran all steps here. The last step fixed keys Fn + F8 through Fn + F12. Thanks! However, the Fn functionality for F1 through F7 is not correct for me, and Fn + ESC shuts down the laptop, i.e. is mapped to keysym 0x1008ff2a, XF86PowerOff. I recently installed the ANSI keyboard on a Pinebook Pro which was originally ISO. I am using the Armbian, Debian 10 version. Below is the xev output for each key press. I really appreciate all of your work on this!

I installed Manjaro Xfce and these fn keys work as expected on that distro.
