k480_conf

Configuration utility for setting up function keys on ubuntu for Logitech k480 keyboard. It was checked on Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 18.3

Inspiration came from this place: http://www.trial-n-error.de/posts/2012/12/31/logitech-k810-keyboard-configurator/

This repo mostly based on embuc project. https://github.com/embuc/k480_conf

I just added new model version and some configure scripts for simple use.

Steps:

  1. check which hidraw device is your logitech keyboard:
$cat /sys/class/hidraw/hidraw*/device/uevent

Identify which one it is, e.g. hidraw2 (It might be any other, be sure which one it is before you proceed).

  1. Then run following files to make function keys behave as function keys by default. (after downloading/cloning files from here):
$make build

$sudo ./k480_conf -d /dev/hidraw2 -f on

You can also revert this behaviour by running:

$sudo ./k480_conf -d /dev/hidraw2 -f off

which will make media keys default and function keys accessible by (fn + function key).

To keep this setting after a restart you need to edit hidraw device number in 99-k480.rules and run the installation script.

$make install

For fully removing rules and utility from system run:

$make uninstall
