Incomplete keyboard alternative functions in A515-54G (70Y9)
Hi, I think it's something that ought to be handled at a firmware level so... in a newer BIOS release for this model perhaps?
This laptop ships with a numeric keypad and there are several functions associated to the different numbers, when the Num Lock is off the #7 key becomes Home, #1 is End and #3 and #9 are Page Up and Down respectively for example. The expected behavior is to have them act like that when Num Lock is engaged and we use the function key.
For example, with Num Lock on, pressing 3 should input the 3 number but pressing Fn + 3 should advance to the next page. As of now (BIOS v1.12) none of the alternative functions of those keys work, having Num Lock on and pressing 3 acts as if Fn wasn't pressed, leading to the number 3 being inputted.
I'd like to request this to be fixed in a subsequent BIOS release if at all possible, I don't know if this is the right channel to report such bugs but if it ain't and any Acer representative happens to come across this thread please forward it to the appropriate team (or let me know who to contact and how to get in touch with them).
Kind regards!
