@rquickenden @surface Thanks Rob. So Surface Laptop 5 has the same weird Fn key that acts as both toggle and modifier? (I’ve never seen that on an external keyboard, surface built in keyboard is the only keyboard I’ve ever seen that acts like this)

@Dave_UX Besides that, having the page,home, end keys so far away from the arrow keys is another design flaw imo.

@Dave_UX Thanks for your thoughts. I’m a developer so use page up/down, home, end extensively while editing and F8-F12 extensively while debugging. Fn key either enabled or disabled will be wrong mode 50% of the time.

@JohnKennedyEsq @panos_panay @shanselman @Pete_Brown @JenMsft right... that'd explain the difference. I'm a heavy keyboard user and this trips me up every couple of minutes if in dev/debug cycle.

I've never been more disappointed in a laptop purchase than my @microsoft @surface laptop 4. Almost six months in and the Fn key still aggravates me every damn day. toptensoftware.com/blog/the-surfa…

@JohnKennedyEsq @panos_panay @shanselman @Pete_Brown @JenMsft So if you're doing development, how to do you do PageUp/Down/Home/End while editing and still have F9-F12 for debugging?

@JohnKennedyEsq @panos_panay @shanselman @Pete_Brown @JenMsft I think I've mentioned this to @JenMsft before, but pretty sure the only way to fix it would be a firmware update.

(tosses Surface Laptop aside, grabs older, slower, but _usable_ MacBook Pro). So disappointing. Don't buy this machine if you plan to use its keyboard.

Volume II is out now! @punch_deck spent the past year on this and has done an incredible job, composing 46 minutes all up! #indiegame #indiedev #gamemusic

I just wrote a script that formats a date with a 2-digit year. It's all part of my diabolical plan to collapse the world economy in about 78 years from now.
