"Windows" media keys work on MacOSX. The scan codes are recognized in the same manner. For example, my Saitek backlit has media keys which work the same way on MacOS X 10.3.9, 10.4.11 as Windows 2K, XP, Vista, 7.
playing with xev shows nothing for the fn key.... odd.
Not sure what's up with the HHKB and Linux.
There is a different media key standard for Windows keyboards, and Linux uses it too.
Responding to this point in particular, assuming the HHKB Fn key works the same way as it does on other keyboards, the key is not supposed to be visible to software. It alters the code sent by other keys entirely within the keyboard itself so the OS just sees another key entirely for a given combination, rather than [modifier] followed by [key you pressed after].
Has anyone put the HHKB in Macintosh mode yet to scan for Key Codes?
