I Hate (Most) Keyboard 'Fn' Keys

I have a bin full of pristine keyboards that never see the light of day because of Fn, arrows, Home, and/or End placement.

I used to work on 3 different laptops, so I kind of got used to thinking about every stroke using those keys, but I never want to go back there, it's so mentally taxing.

Some models do have physical switches on the back witj which you can enable / disable this behaviour.

One of the many cases where physical buttons/switches are superior to software-only options.

constantly lowering my luminosity instead of refreshing my page :(

Speaking of "natural scrolling" it is horrible because most scrolling is downward and "natural" is an ergonomically inferior pushing action instead of pulling.

It's only natural on the actual display itself.

Anothe affront to nature by Apple, along with killing the headphone jack.

Instead of using a single menu bar icon “volume control,” I have transferred the lessons of the keyboard to the GUI and placed two buttons in my menu bar: volume down and volume up. I have been using them all the time for about half a year now.

The benefits of this approach, to my knowledge and estimation, include: no waiting for a slider to appear; no nested actions; no need to read the current value; each click does not depend on the current state; Fitts’ Law muscle memory boost (the buttons are effectively infinite-height targets); discoverability compared to scrollwheelable icons.
