There are different USB codes for F13-F24 = 68/69/6a and PrintScreen/ScrollLock/Pause = 46/47/48 So they are different keys. Apparently, the OS (or KVM switch) will map these keys to F13-15 on a Mac, but as far as the spec is concerned, we don't care. If these keys are reported to the browser as PrintScreen/et al., then they should be encoded as PrintScreen,... If they come through as F13... then that's how they should be encoded. In this case, Mac users will see F13,... because the OS (or some other lower component) is translating the PrintScreen into F13. So this is way beyond the scope of what we need to worry about for this spec. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
