A more fundamental issue can be that some machines have an 
option in the BIOS that dictates whether keys (mostly but not 
exclusively the F1-F12 ones) which have alternate "Fn+" actions
will either

- by default issue the F1-F12 action, but need you to press "Fn"
  as well to get the other action

- the opposite

People who are not programmers typically want the brightness,
volume, play, rewind etc actions most of the time and rarely if
ever want F1-F12 codes.
