When using iOS or MacOS a lot of standard key commands are using the Fn key. E.g. Fn+C is control centre.

This is odd - it is actually a key code but only on these platforms..

See https://gist.github.com/fauxpark/010dcf5d6377c3a71ac98ce37414c6c4

It appears you have to change the vendor ID to an apple keyboard to make this work. https://gist.github.com/fauxpark/010dcf5d6377c3a71ac98ce37414c6c4?permalink_comment_id=3720511#gistcomment-3720511

Possible?

See also: qmk/qmk_firmware#2179 which explains it nicely and https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/41537/linux-apple-wireless-a1314-fn-key-not-registered-looks-like-software-bug

short story - the QMK firmware works at a much lower level than the Adafruit one. Its possible - but requires patching the adafruit c library
