## FN keys not working
|
|
|
|
If the fn keys are not working properly run
|
|
[a script](https://github.com/tiyn/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/etc/fchange)
|
|
that changes the `sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode` file.
|
|
This toggles between the two different fn key functions.
|
|
|
|
## Toggle the touchpad
|
|
|
|
To toggle the touchpad on or off
|
|
[a simple script](https://github.com/tiyn/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/tools/dwm/toggletouchpad)
|
|
can be used that uses `synclient TouchpadOff=1` or `synclient TouchpadOff=0`.
|
|
This requires `xf86-input-synaptics` which is a synaptics driver for
|
|
notebook touchpads.
