Strange Behavior of Function Keys Under Linux

Recently I re-install my fedora due to mis-erasing my disk partition table. After booting to the new system, I found F5 is not bound to refreshing the page.

Finally I found this behavior can be alternated by:

1
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

To make the change persistent, use:

1
echo "options hid_apple fnmode=0" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
