This keyboard was easy to install - plug-and-play easy. I had trouble getting the number pad to work, but that was solved by :
- entering the Control Center in KDE,
- navigating to Peripherals, Keyboard...
- clicking the radio button that indicates how the numlock should act at startup time.
I also found settings to enable me to use the apple commands and shorcuts. I did it by:
- entering the Control Center in KDE,
- navigating to Regional & Accessibility, Keyboard Shorcuts
- switching to the tab titled "Modifier Keys",
- checking both boxes "Macintosh Keyboard" and "MacOS-style modifier usage".
The Mitsumi Extended USB Apple keyboard features I am trying to enable:
- this keyboard is extended, and has many keys that register as deadkeys [F13, F14, F15, F16, volume up, volume down, mute, eject, kana/english switch, kanji]. I want to find out how to activate these keys and assign shorcuts.
- this keyboard is also a USB hub. I would like to make this functional.
- this keyboard is bilingual [Japanese & English.] I am researching to find out how I can achieve direct kana input from this keyboard.
