help on function buttons?

[daniel-shi]

so hey guys

seeing as i never use dashboard anymore at all, and i use launchpad quite a bit, i was wondering whether i could replace F4 with launchpad.

For example
F1 - brightness down
F2 - brightness up
F3 - mission control
F4 - dashboard (i want to change to launchpad)
and so on...

is that possible? and fyi i have mountain lion (10.8) installed and a mid 2012 mbp. cheers and tyia

2012 MBPs come with a Launchpad key, it is the F4 key (two rows of three columns of little rectangles):

But if you have the 2010 MBP in your signature and the 2012 was an error: http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/12/remap-f4-to-open-launchpad-older-mac-keyboards/ + http://www.tuaw.com/2011/07/22/make-your-pre-lion-keyboard-work-with-launchpad/, found via http://www.google.dk/search?client=...oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=fMc0ULDAJMXatAbltIGgDw
