I am the unhappy owner of a new ms natural keyboard. ITs comfortable, but the function lock 'feature' is irritating. Basically you need to press the flock key to get access to you F leys.
Now i was wondering, the kernel logs an event when the keys are pressed without function lock enables. something like this:

That setkeycodes looks interesting, would it be feasable to remap these key events to their regular funciton key counterparts? And if so what level would this be at? setkeycodes, xmodmap, etc?
