I don't know Apple's endgame for the Fn/Globe key–or if Apple does

5 days ago

The Fn key originated with IBM's 1984 PCjr to simulate missing keys on a smaller keyboard.
Fn's role expanded to include computer operations like screen brightness and volume control, leading to a lack of standardization across manufacturers.
Apple's introduction of the Globe key for iPad and later Macs added confusion, especially with third-party keyboards not supporting its functions.
Apple's approach to modifier keys has been inconsistent, leading to user and partner frustration over non-functional or confusing shortcuts.
The article criticizes Apple for not having a clear plan for keyboard shortcuts, resulting in a messy and unsustainable system.
