+### Apple keyboard Fn
+Not supported.
+
+Apple keyboard sends keycode for Fn unlike most of other keyboards.
+I think you can send Apple Fn key using Apple venter specific Page 0xff00 and usage 0x0003. But you have to change HID Report Descriptor for this, of course.

+## Media control keys in Mac OSX

+Use `KC_MFFD`(`KC_MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD`) and `KC_MRWD`(`KC_MEDIA_REWIND`) instead of `KC_MNXT` and `KC_MPRV`.
+See https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/195

+## Keys supported in Mac OSX?
+You can know which keycodes are supported in OSX from this source code.
+
+`usb_2_adb_keymap` array maps Keyboard/Keypad Page usages to ADB scancodes(OSX internal keycodes).
