Translating MacBook keyboard to CentOS keystrokes / combinations?
Posted: 2020/06/09 15:46:18
I've got CentOS 8 running on an Apple machine (as in, I wiped OSX entirely and installed CentOS 8). I'm having trouble figuring out which keys on my MacBook keyboard correspond to what keys CentOS thinks I'm stroking.
"control" is obviously Ctrl, but it seems like sometimes "fn" is Alt and sometimes "command" is Alt. The keys along the top of the keyboard mostly work (volume, keyboard backlight brightness, CD/DVD controls, eject button). But the screen brightness isn't translating.
Another weird part is figuring out how to use F# keys — no combination of shift / fn / control / option / command seems to bring me F-key functionality.
So specifically I need to know:
Or, almost as good, a CentOS utility that would read my keystrokes and tell me what key I'm pressing?

- Screen brightness control
- How to get F-key functionality
