Hello, I have a Filco Minila Air and I want to remap the Fn keys, unfortunately they do not send scancode so I could not remap them through software. I have done some researches and found this japanese article:part1(http://hieroglyphe.blog47.fc2.com/blog-entry-64.html (http://hieroglyphe.blog47.fc2.com/blog-entry-64.html)), part2(http://hieroglyphe.blog47.fc2.com/blog-entry-65.html (http://hieroglyphe.blog47.fc2.com/blog-entry-65.html)).
After reading the article I decided to do something similar, I wanted to remap Fn keys to [無変換] and [KANA] (same as part 1), and remap App key to the origin Fn key. Since the article is written in Japanese so I don't quite understand the article. I have my questions listed below and I really appreciate if someone can clear them up for me:
1. Why in part 1 he rewired one of the yellow wire all the way to the left R5?(http://blog-imgs-50-origin.fc2.com/h/i/e/hieroglyphe/64USMINILA_HAISENok.jpg)
2. why in part 2 he needs to take off one resistor in pink circle and add two resistors in red circles?(http://blog-imgs-50-origin.fc2.com/h/i/e/hieroglyphe/US67haisen1.jpg)
3. Can I remap my fn keys just like what he did in part 1 and remap my App key by connect App key's switch to the origin Fn pcb holes(similar to what he did in picture below where the white/black wires remap the alt to Fn)? Do I also need to change resistors?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
