Hi,
i got my 13" Late 2010 MBA a few weeks ago, and i have to say its a great machine. There is however one Problem i have with it.
Some programs i use, use the function keys. That is why i set f1-12 as the default functionalities for those keys. F6 gives me problems though. Instead of whatever the program is configured to do on f6, f6 just unfocuses the current application, which is imho quite useless and annoying. The other function keys seem to work as intended. In the Keyboard settings there is nothing bound to the f6 key, so i don't know how to fix this or what causes it.
I couldn't find anything on that Problem (only people with keyboard backlight problems that don't apply to the current mba). Is anyone else experiencing this issue or am i alone? What can i do about it?
/edit
I fixed this problem by binding f6 to a menu command and directly removing the binding again, using the keyboard system settings.
This seems to "clear" the global keybinding and makes the key function as it should again.
It still works after a reboot so i hope this problem is gone for good.
