• Re: [gentoo-user] advice on installation handbook: add "Fn+Alt+Fn" to S

    From Julien Roy@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 7 15:50:01 2022
    This is because some machines (especially laptops) default to the Function/Multimedia key rather than the Fn key. This behavior normally can be changed in the BIOS so the keys default to their Fn function.

    some machines can't switch to another TTY with
    'Alt+Fn'. Instead, using
    'Fn(function key)+Alt+Fn(n stand for number)'
    works.

    whether its appropriate for adding a tip like
    above to Section5.4 of installation handbook.
