I have the new wireless keyboard, and it has F1-12 labeled on it.. I’d say maybe they are improving with the times, but there is no numpad on this thing… Only apple seems to get away with new products withe less things, and it being heralded as being better… lol

I was happy to find that fn+arrow keys got me page up/down… Although the original Mac keyboards had no arrow keys, to prevent people from doing text mode ports, and to force people to use the mouse……

Many people suffer from a misconception that there’s a F8 key on an Apple keyboard. There isn’t. That’s exactly why the ‘F8’ label is printed in the corner in small type and why Fn has to be held to get the F8 keystroke.

The Apple keyboards are really different, which can be easily seen when attaching a regular PC USB keyboard and comparing the behavior. Also, try finding the Insert key on an Apple keyboard.

As for the Fn key stuff, you can change the default behaviour in the Keyboard panel of the System preferences. It’s on the first page, first checkbox (on Lion at least).

But I think that the problem arises only when using an Apple Keyboard, as the system should detect if you’re using a standard layout without Fn or not.
