"On the laptop keyboard, some media keys should be function keys but other media keys should stay media keys. When using fn I want to get the other version of the key."

Wow, this is exactly how it should be! Who cares about F1 and F2, let them be brightness controls! A button for "full screen" on F5? No thank you, that should always be "refresh".

Btw, I switch a lot between MacOS and Linux, and my Logitech MX master can be Mac or Windows/Linux. It's maddening that the thing has a "super" and and "cmd" key. They should have been the same key. Alt and Opt should also have been the same.




Most laptops I've used have an "Fn Lock" key or mechanism. That's one of the first "out of the box" items I enable. If it lacked one, that'd be a "back in the box" experience for me.


Sure, but it does not let you combine brightness controls with F5. It’s either or, the functions or the F keys. This let’s you mix.
