Attatched a keyfuzz file for usage with MBP.

With the patch in previous comment, one can put the symlink in: 
/etc/keyfuzz/by-id/usb-Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard___Trackpad-event-kbd

instead of /etc/keyfuzz/eventX (the latter was unreliable in my case).

** Attachment added: "keyfuzz file for usage with keyfuzz."

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.
