Function with dual function keys

I'm playing various online games downloaded, and the problem that I keep running into is that my function keys have two functions, and 'main functions' are not those I want to (for example, to adjust the brightness of the screen, etc.).  I need the original functions that relate to the programs I use, and it is very inconvenient to have to press the Fn key several times to get to work.  Worst of all is the F2 key, which stops my wifi, disconnect the games and force me to go back to the login screen.

  • Function keys not working only not with screen sharing

    Sierra running on all machines. Until the update, I would use on iMac 2014 screen sharing to access a Mac Mini 2011. Everything worked very well. However, after update, function keys no longer work through screen sharing. I confirmed the screen sharing is the problem, as functions correctly with Mini bluetooth keyboard, and also logging since MacBook Air gives the same problem from the iMac. It wasn't a problem during execution of El Capitan or even when I used Sierra Beta on iMac.

    Anyone has any suggestions or has met this themselves?

  • Re: Function keys issue in Toshiba M50DA103 with Linux

    Hi all

    I bought this Toshiba M50DA103 to eventually eliminate the pre-installed Windows 8 and install my flavor of Linux on it instead. However, there is a problem annoying with the function keys, a problem that appeared after I installed Ubuntu Linux. The function keys appear to all foires (the key which is supposed to increase the brightness suspends the computer instead, and so on.)

    First of all, I thought that this could be a problem with Ubuntu only, but then I tried to boot Fedora, and the problem is always the same. That being said, it could be a matter of core, or a problem of hardware compatibility.

    Could you please give me some ideas on what I can do to fix it? In fact, I have discussed this matter with the Ubuntu forums guys, but could not reach a solution.

    Please help, if possible.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I tried to understand the situation of the hotkey and belive it works like this:

    The kernel has a certain driver, toshiba_acpi, who handles the events from the keyboard shortcut key.
    The driver is for a reason any confused about the layout of shortcut keys.
    I think that most of the distros uses the same driver for the kernel, so it won't do much good to exchange for another.

    You mention the unit suspended when it is supposed to reduce the brightness.
    This is how was the plu layout of Toshiba - FN + F3 = standby, hibernation = FN + F4.

    So what is happening is that the driver react the "old way".

    I reached out to the maintainer of the pilot to ask questions about how it works.
    Don't expect miracles or even any improvement at all.
    But if we are lucky, we can find the roommate of changes.

  • With persistence locks function keys!

    Hello

    I would like with persistence of lock function to my laptop E531 keys.

    I know that you can switch between the multimedia and function keys by setting FnLock (Fn + ESC), but unfortunately, this setting is volatile: whenever I restart the system (even from the power saving mode), it is lost and the default keys to new multimedia.

    Using this laptop only for "real work", with the software, which extensively uses the function keys, it becomes really angry...

    Is there a persistent way lock the function keys to generate the F1... F12 keycodes?

    If I ever need the multimedia functions, I will happily hold the Fn key before...

    Operating system is Windows 8.1.

    Thanks for any help,

    Check if you have an F LOCK key in the top right of your keyboard.

    If this is not the case, try a system restore:

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    See you soon.

    Hi Kripananda,

    What is the brand and model of the computer?

    The function keys are controlled by the manufacturer of the system. The changes must be made in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the system to better support.

    Note: changes to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Shortcuts with single letter keys can produce unexpected results. Why no function keys?

    Sometimes I start typing a reply, or by entering a key word to search without having to pay a lot of attention when the window focus is. If it's on the messaged pane, a few keystrokes can correspond to a single letter shortcuts, mess up the Inbox without noticing this immediately (for example a message archiving). It's very embarrassing.

    Why allow shortcuts without function keys?

    Because old-time pre - GUI users love shortcuts keyboard. They are effective.

    Watch the keyconfig extension if you want to disable or change the keyboard shortcuts.

  • L420 screen brightness does not change with the function keys

    I installed the last dryers and since then I am unable to change the brightness of the display using the function keys. I installed several driver updates from where it is difficult to know which driver is causing the problem. The pointers in this area would be a good help.

    The latest driver Intel HD (from Intel) is originally this issue. Uninstall and reinstall the driver provided by Lenovo.

  • Shares in rehearsal with the function key

    CS6 (16.0.3) on Mac OS 10.6.8 Illustrator.

    I've set up action that will add crop marks to a selected object.  The action works great when you click play on the Panel, but when I assign a function key to action, it executes the action twice (giving me 2 set of cuts).  I tried different function keys thinking that it was a conflict of keyboard shortcut, but that made no difference.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    It's a bug introduced in the CS6. Easy to fix: insert a STOP at the end of your Action.

  • Pavilion 15-ab216nz: f1 - f12 function keys do not work

    Hello

    I shot this Pavilion laptop 15-ab216nz to win 10 to Win 7 64 bit.

    The function keys f1 - 12 do not work - what is missing?

    Thanks for the support

    The problem is resolved. Thanks for your reply.

    As the function keys have 2 different functions:

    (a) Act in accordance with the operating system (release e.g.F3, F5 reload, etc.)

    (b) Act as specific function of material (e.g. dim or bright the screen, increase or decrease the volume)

    (Usually one) is the default (without the combination with the 'fn' key) for b) to use the "fn" EHF.

    This computer works on the other hand, I discovered. There is no need to install the software.

    Kind regards
