basically my keyboard is stuck in Fn Lock. And I press Fn + Esc but it doesn't fix it. So I found a fix to type this into the terminal
this is supposed to work after reboot but it doesn't
echo 'options hid_apple fnmode=0' | \ sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
echo 'options hid_apple fnmode=0' | \ sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
this one makes fixed it until reboot and I am using it right now
echo -n 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
echo -n 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
also if someone can confirm that those commands are not malware that would be appreciated. I asked an expert and he said this
No, the command echo 'options hid_apple fnmode=0' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf is not malware. It's a legitimate command used to configure the behavior of Apple keyboards on Linux systems.
