I don't agree with Andrew's assessment of the function keys. This isn't a
normal PC keyboard and we shouldn't try to make it one. For the same reason
the number lock should always is the same reason that the media keys should
be used over the function keys. Yes its annoying sometimes but I end up
using my media keys far more often than fn keys and when looking at they
keyboard it is clearly obvious that the media keys are what a user expects
should happen if he presses one because the media key icon is so much
larger. Same situation with the directional pad. We should try to be
consistent with what is actually on the keyboard not with what is in our
minds that the keyboard should be. Yes its different but thats what buying
apple hardware is all about. "Think Different"

I have another bug open for these issues
