A quick googling turns up:

Yeah, something that should work by default, but it is at least fixable.

The frustration is all of the chording for things that seem to merit their own key in my world. Fn-up, down, left, right could better handle screen and keyboard lighting, and put page up/down/left/right up there instead. I mean, the freaking computer controls the brightness anyway, why even bother with single touch? And play/pause and fast forward/reverse?

Home and end don't bother me as much as page up/down, really. I hate finding my place again after scrolling up and down, and option-up/down is annoying to me.
