    I Hate (Most) Keyboard ‘Fn’ Keys
    Jun 9 2026
    Based on an original blog post at: https://danq.me/2026/06/09/fn-keys/

    Sometimes keyboards come with a 'Fn' key that allows some of their context-sensitive keys to do particular general-purpose functions. Sometimes these are implemented in careful, considerate and configurable ways... and other times they just make me want to throw the keyboard out of the window.
