[Bug 201711] Re: Apple fn key behavior isn't consistent with what's expected

I've run Ubuntu on my Apple machines for several years now and I've
found the current approach (requiring the pressing of the fn key) to be
very intuitive. I do have a friend however who bought an Apple keyboard
for his Whitebox PC and he never thought to even try holding 'fn'. But
you can't win 'em all.

Perhaps there's enough quirks to Apple hardware to justify a little GUI
config app for selecting enablers for various little things such as
disabling the default functionality in this case.

I like it as it is, that's my vote anyway.
