Alien Engineering but you can't buy them only manufacture them.

It's only necessary to research one of those engineers. Also using in-game tech tree viewer (Middle-mouse button on a research item) is faster and easier way to find out what you need than the wiki.

You are right, it is normal to ignore Fn key. it is not normal to assign all "disabled" keys to "SDLK_UNKNOWN" and then do stuff when you press that key. It should ignore any SDLK_UNKNOWN key input.

Most likely because right-clicking on a shortcut isn't really disabling the shortcut but setting it as "SDLK_UNKNOWN" (OptionsControlsState.cpp)
When you use volume control it is interpreted as "SDLK_UNKNOWN" instead of "SDLK_VOLUMEUP" or "SDLK_VOLUMEDOWN". Why that is I do not know.

The green tint is night vision, Scroll Lock by default. Most keys can be changed under Options --> Controls. You can right-click on a shortcut there to disable it.

The percentages seen in game are not true Chance-To-Hit indicators. They are more like Chance-Not-To-Mess-Up. Values 109% and higher will give you the best possible CTH (lowest deviation). Values below 100% will give you a chance to get extra deviation added to your (already lower accuracy) shot. Minimum deviation/spread is never zero so you always have a chance to miss if you are far enough away.

Early UFO landings are just aliens doing research and can be totally ignored if they are too difficult. In my current game it has been 14 months and I haven't fought any aliens at all. You have to pick and choose your battles.
