Hi,

being a puritanist I tried creating a .deb for my own personal usage and
using the init scripts that come with keyfuzz.

The init script needed to be patched, since the /dev/input/eventX nodes
are created in different order at least sometimes (attached).

** Patch added: "keyfuzz init script patch"

Title:
  SysRq key equivalent needed

Status in Mactel Support:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  MacBook keyboards and other Apple keyboards lack a SysRq key and
  therefore lack important kernel functionality that is designed to save
  catastrophic data loss if the computer freezes.  An equivalent
  keystroke should be assigned, for example Fn + Eject, to preserve the
  functionality of the Magic SysRq key in linux on a Mactel.  I believe
  this is a bug and not a feature request because the current
  implementation assumes that all keyboards have a SysRq key which is an
  incorrect assumption and therefore a mistake, or bug.
