Thinkpads Forum

Simple question & no rush whatsoever - just curious, next to the right of the ALT button, there's some sort of lamp symbol on the Spacebar keyboard :

Question: if we press Fn button + Spacebar, what will happen ?

This may be seen as a very stupid question however :

(1) I'm using Linux on this laptop = doesn't use Windows = not using ThinkPad's keyboard driver = therefore, Fn + Spacebar when pressed doesn't cause anything to happen

(2) I couldn't find any mention of that button in ThinkPad Edge E125's User's Guide.

Thanks in advance

that icon is for the keyboard backlight. While not all thinkpad's were equipped with them, most thinkpads still have the icon printed on the spacebar (mine included).

Thanks PowerTrader ! I was guessing that as well - and was hoping that it's actually there and can be activated some other ways I knew I was hoping too much, but nothing to lose there

Anyway, still a very cool machine even without backlight. Already abusing it in many ways - installing virtual machine (proxmox) on virtual machine (virtualbox), for example opening tens of browser windows simultaneously, while coding & debugging, etc.
This is one very powerful machine indeed.

Thanks again.

cheers,
