Bug Description
I hadn't noticed before but the F7 key on the macbook does not seem to do anything. I'm not even entirely sure what it is *supposed* to do, but I get no response from it. My guess would be that it has something to do with the displays / external monitors.
Is there anything I can run to help troubleshoot what this is supposed to do and get it to function as expected?

Here is a bit of additional information:

Currently I have this machine connected to an external monitor using extended display via xrandr. Pressing this key turns the external black for a moment and then refreshes.
