Well, what does it do?  Fn+F5 allows me to see what's going on.
Fn+WirelessEnableDisable doesn't tell me anything I don't already know.

Again, consider Fn as a modifier, because that's what it does: modifies
the behaviour of existing keys.  Getting Ctrl+^C wouldn't be
tremendously useful.  Getting Ctrl+C is useful.
