Easy Debian provides also a "Set Deb HW Keys" application which runs xbindkeys, mapping <u>Fn+Shift+(upper row keys)</u> of the hardware keyboard to function keys F1-F12. Here the Fn (blue arrow) key has to be pressed first, which is best done by pressing with the thumb and rolling down to also press the Shift key. The function keys are sometimes needed to get in and out of certain modes of programs in particular when started from the desktop (often F1 for help; F5 for presentation or navigator mode; F11 for "Styles and Formatting" in Openoffice.) Moreover, <u>Ctrl+Up</u> and <u>Ctrl+Space</u> provide full screen toggles. In the newest Easy Debian versions, Escape and Tab are mapped to <u>Fn+Shift+Left</u> and <u>Fn+Shift+Right</u>, respectively.

If F1-F12 do not work reliably for you, try replacing all occurrences of "xvkbd -text" in /home/user/.xbindkeysrc by "xvkbd -xsendevent -text". (Already fixed in newer Easy Debian versions.)

Under LXDE, the Enter key is actually KP_Enter, while some application only accept ordinary "Return". For this eventuality, "Set Deb HW Keys" maps <u>Shift+Enter</u> to Return.
