On ThinkPad T460/T560 F7-F12 hotkeys are not supported. Pressing Fn+key does not produce any keyboard event.
Same problem for me. I've found this old patch http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1901769 and it worked perfectly. Why it was not accepted?
Oh, forgot to add that I'm on Thinkpad T460s
I cleaned the patch up a bit and re-sent it to the maintainers.
I am having this issue on my Thinkpad X260 as well, with the special f4, f7-f12. So I assume this is effecting a number of models.
FYI, I can confirm that on my X260 there is the same issue. It is currently running BIOS Version 1.17. During kernel boot, there is the "thinkpad_acpi: unknown version of the HKEY interface: 0x200" message. I haven't yet tried the patch from 2014 linked above. However, there seems to be some current (April 2016) discussion about it on https://sourceforge.net/p/ibm-acpi/mailman/message/34988427/
Same here on T460s running Fedora 24 4.6.4-301.fc24.x86_64.

As of about two weeks ago, on debian sid, my f4, and f7-12 are now work, and show up in `xev`. * F4: XF86AudioMicMute * F7: XF86Display * F8: XF86WLAN * F9: XF86Tools * F10:XF86Search * F11: XF86LaunchA * F12: XF86Explorer

Ah, sorry. I'm on 4.7.0 rc4 (apt pkg 'linux-image-4.7.0-rc4-amd64'), though I see that 4.7.0 rc7 is out now on sid.
Ah, sorry. I'm on 4.7.0 rc4 (apt pkg 'linux-image-4.7.0-rc4-amd64'), though I see that 4.7.0 rc7 is out now, and will check that it continues to work there too.
