Created attachment 478268 [details, diff] hid-apple.patch From here https://github.com/free5lot/hid-apple-patched A patched version of hid-apple allows GNU/Linux user to swap the FN and left Control keys and some other mapping tweaks on Macbook Pro, external Apple keyboards and probably other Apple devices. It adds few options to kernel module hid_apple: swap_fn_leftctrl, rightalt_as_rightctrl, ejectcd_as_delete, which are disabled by default. Very useful for people who used to use windows keyboard for a long time and don't like macbook keyboard.
