Just got new lenovo X1 carbon. So far everything is working well, but one issue with the keyboard. Hitting Alt-F2 does not give 'run command'. Instead, Fn-Alt-F2 does. In fact, inspecting (using emacs), it seems every one of the function keys acts as if the Fn key state is inverted. E.g., without holding Fn, hitting F2 lowers the volume, which is what is suppose to happen if you hold Fn, and emacs reports indicate the same. Any hints how to fix? I did not do anything special with the keyboard, other than (with kde settings) swapping ctrl-capslock.

Turns out, you can toggle by pressing esc + Fn.
