Keychron keyboard support in Linux

Keychron keyboard support in Linux

If you have a Keychron keyboard and you try to use it in Linux, you'll likely find that your function keys do not work properly
or at all. I think this is pretty stupid but it's rather easy to fix.

Open your favorite terminal, cd to /usr/bin and doas/sudo nano keychron and add these two lines

#!/bin/sh

echo 0 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

and save the file. Then run doas/sudo chmod +x keychron

Now you'll need to have this run at startup. The way you'll do this will be different depending on what desktop environment
you're using. A good option is to add it to .xinitrc. Simply add "keychron &" to the file but make sure it runs before your
window manager. Otherwise it won't be executed.

I only tested this on Gentoo Linux but it should work on other distros as well, there's not really a reason it wouldn't.

Enjoy
