Fn Key On Keyboard. I have a laptop with a bad built in keyboard on which I use a regular external keyboard. Is there any way to get.
The most viable solution is to turn on the original function key The Fn key is usually a hardware level key, thus invisible to the OS. Now the function keys will work normaly and you can hold 'Fn' to use the multimedia. The Fn key also provides access to second assignments, but it is mainly found on laptop keyboards.
That means you can neither retrieve nor control the state of the Fn key from Ubuntu.
The Fn Lock usually displays a small lock icon and the letter "Fn." It may be shared with another key, such as Esc or Shift.
