Macos – Remapping Logitech K750 Mac keyboard FN keys to default layout on Fedora GNU/Linux

fedorakeyboard-layoutlogitech-keyboardmacos

I recently bought Logitech K750 Mac keyboard and it has that reversed functionality of FN keys, so you have to use FN key to make regular F1, F2 and other F keys to work.

We all know, that hid_apple is in in control of this behavior and running, the following made my FN keys work on on my MacBook Air laptop (with the same Fedora installation):

echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

However, this doesn't work with my desktop Fedora installation, with this new keyboard, that has Mac keys layout but not identifying itself as Mac keyboard. I even tried to add to kernel on boot:

hid_apple.fnmode=2

and still no luck.

My suspicion goes to that I have to force Fedora identify this keyboard as being Mac. If I'm correct – how do I do it or what else am I missing here?

Solaar can be used for configuring Logitech Unifying receiver and newer Logitech products. Allows swapping fn-keys to act normally instead of as media buttons.
