[PATCH v2 evdev 3/4] Add a property to toggle function key mode

Peter Hutterer peter.hutterer at who-t.net
Thu May 19 20:42:03 PDT 2011


On some keyboards, the multimedia function keys are overlaid with the F
keys. This property enables clients to switch the primary mode of these F
keys between function keys and multimedia keys.
Some keyboards provide an Fn key to toggle between the modes. This is
hardware-specific and may or may not work on any given keyboard device.

The current implementation is only hooked up to apple keyboards.
The kernel provides a tweak to enable/disable.

/sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
    0 .. keyboard sends Fx keys, Fn disabled
    1 .. keyboard sends multimedia keys, Fn toggles to function keys
    2 .. keyboard sends function keys, Fn toggles to multimedia keys

If fnmode is on 0, we force it to 2.

Changes to v1:
- device ID lookup table now squashed in (was 4/4)
- fnmode uses 1 or 2, not 0 or 1 as values
- add GetProperty handler to update before a client gets the property value
- make the property itself generic, implementation is apple specific
- use enums instead of 0/1/-1 where possible
