Uh, I didn't expect that.  What models are affected?  I ask, because I
faintly recall that I had the FN-key working as a modifier with my i1200
at one point in time, but I didn't need that functionality, and so I
didn't care back then.

> But you can use the otherwise useless Shift-Lock key for that purpose:

I'll try that tomorrow.  This seems to be a reasonable solution, but
only if I can map the Caps-Lock functionality to another key (Scroll-
Lock could be a candidate).  Reason: I do occasionally use Caps-Lock,
e.g. when typing with one hand while being on the phone.
