The Omoton KB066 is an Apple A1255 keyboard clone (HID product code 05ac:022c). On both keyboards, the F6 key becomes Num Lock when the Fn key is held. But unlike its Apple exemplar, when the Omoton's F6 key is pressed without Fn, it sends the usage code 0xC0301 from the reserved section of the consumer page instead of the standard F6 usage code 0x7003F from the keyboard page. The nonstandard code is translated to KEY_UNKNOWN and becomes useless on Linux. The Omoton KB066 is a pretty popular keyboard, judging from its 29,058 reviews on Amazon at time of writing, so let's account for its quirk to make it more usable. By the way, it would be nice if we could automatically set fnmode to 0 for Omoton keyboards because they handle the Fn key internally and the kernel's Fn key handling creates undesirable side effects such as making F1 and F2 always Brightness Up and Brightness Down in fnmode=1 (the default) or always F1 and F2 in fnmode=2. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to identify Bluetooth keyboards more specifically than the HID product code which is obviously inaccurate. Users of Omoton keyboards will just have to set fnmode to 0 manually to get full Fn key functionality.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
