Well obviously you need to hold the Fn key :-) (I know, some things are
only obvious after the fact).
BTW, for future reference I recommend you join this list and use a
proper mailer with a quoting feature. The HyperKitty mail interface is
absolutely terrible, and that's not even the worst part of it.

I've never met this "hold Fn key on any of the other machines I've had.
On my keyboard (a Logitech) it's the other way round, i.e. the orange
Fn key selects special functions such as volume control, while the
function keys themselves work directly, so I guess there are lots of
ways to do this.
There are lots of ways, I've seen laptops with a blue Fn key to activate
the function keys and numeric keypad, and also have an orange key to
activate special functions. I'm using a desktop with a microsoft
keyboard, which has separate keys for volume, mute and play/pause
controls and even a key for a calculator, but by default none of them
work under linux and I've never investigated what needs to be done to
get them to work, even if it is possible. I'm also thinking of
converting to a razor gaming keyboard to match my razor gaming mouse
(the mouse doesn't work properly under linux with the interfaces that
need to be downloaded, the kernel driver needed to with bluetooth works
fine but the apps don't, and I'm yet to determine whether its an issue
with the apps or the bus which they use (the apps function via the bus
and work fine with the mouse when its on usb but not when its on
bluetooth) where the keyboard has a vastly different setup again.
As a side note to this, in a earlier email on this thread I made
reference to some comments made by Samuel and referred to them being
made by you, at the time I'd been working on another thread on an email
provided by you, and at the time I wrote my comments I still had that
email in my mind, hence got confused between you and Samuel, so I
apologize to both of you.
regards,
Steve
