    Hello, im new here and im a little unsure where to post about my macbook, But i hope this is the place.

    Anyways, i was wondering if its possible to toggle the fn button, cause im a flash animator, and its pretty anoying that i have to hold fn down to create a new keyframe.

    Hope i get some quick replies.

    I appologise for bad english.

    Go to System Preferences --> Keyboard and Mouse.
    Under the Keyboard tab, check "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."
    That should do it.
    :)

    System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard > Use F1, F2 etc. as standard function keys.

    That way you don't have to press fn to access F6 for example.

    surely if you set it once thats it done? What could be easier than that?

    I think he was talking about a shortcut that would toggle that box "checked" or "unchecked". Which to me, doesn't really seem possible.

    Maybe write a small program that could do it??? I dunno...

    I would just leave it checked and get used to holding down the function key to do things like "screen brightness" or "play/pause".
