Comment 31 for bug 201887

wow, that was a very thorough and (I think) correct analysis of the situation. I just want to say that I agree 100% (as in: every single word) with what ChaseNeveu just wrote.

I think the proposed solutions would fix all the problems and make the greater part of users happy; I even remember that in a mac store I worked in recently, I was told to use fn to access the media/volume keys (that is, on iMacs); therefore I don't know if this was the default behavior of newer macs, but is certainly is possible and is, in my opinion, much less dangerous (and much more functional) than the current behavior in Hardy. Ctrl+alt+fn+F7/F9 is not a sane amount of keys to press and hold to switch TTYs, for example.
