function keys

Hello. Both my fn (function/globe key) work, and the function keys (F1-F12) work. The first one works by creating a shortcut for emojis, while the latter works by adjusting volume, brightness, etc. However, when wanting to access to F1, F2, etc, by holding the fn-key, while also pressing one...

Is there bluetooth keyboard with dedicated function keys that double as a case, like the Apple magic keyboard for the iPad Pro 12.9? The reason I need dedicated function keys is I am using a remote desktop app (Shadow Tech) and I need the function keys to work with Microsoft Office. I don’t...

Hi folks, I'm hoping I can tap into the wealth of mac knowledge here to figure this one out. TLDR: does anyone know of a keyboard layout (other than the macbook pro 2021) which has full size function keys and slim left-right arrows? -- There has been various versions and layouts for keyboards...

Hi. I just upgraded from macOS Mojave 10.14 [cMP 4,1] to Monterey 12.2 [Mac mini M1]. In Mojave I mapped the F13-F19 function keys to open various apps, lock the screen, and open Notification Center. Monterey seems to allow mapping of menu functions of apps but not opening apps themselves as...

This may not be possible, but I'm checking to see if anyone knows of a way to utilize the mac function keys as they are setup by default (so they would adjust brightness, volume, etc.) but to treat them as standard function keys for specified apps (primarily excel). I know I can override the...

Hi, after the installation of additional audio drives, I assume for some kind of conflict, the function keys on my Macbook Pro 2015 stopped working (i.e. they do "hit" but take different functions from the special brightness/volume adjustments they normally have). Yes I have checked the...

I have a 2018 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Running MacOS Mojave 10.14.5. I'm new to MacOS, but really like what I see. My question is about the function keys. I don't have physical function keys. Instead I must press the "fn" key at the bottom left of my keyboard and then all of the function...

Hi ! I just bought a MacBook Pro 2017 with function keys and I'm looking for a good dock that is not too expensive - to power the mac, plug a screen and a few musical keyboards. For these criterias, the Henge Dock Stone - Tethered Dock seems perfect. But I can read on the Internet some issues...

My friend has a 2014 MacBook Air 13" i7 that he had to get the keyboard and track-pad replaced on after a coffee spill. The shop replaced the keyboard after two months of sitting at their place, and it does work now... but only kind of. None of the function keys do what they're supposed to...

I just got my 2016 15" and am playing with the touchbar. I like having the fn key set to display expanded control strip, but when that is set, how do I get to the function keys? I have yet to figure it out. Has anyone figured it out yet?
