Problems with USB C magic keyboard function keys

[gdc]

Hi all.

14" M2 MacBook Pro with Studio Display and new USB C Magic Keyboard. My function keys act as standard function keys and not the system shortcuts (volume, brightness etc). I've checked in Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Function Keys and have confirmed that function keys are not enabled to use as standard function keys.

Was using a non-Apple blue tooth keyboard prior to the new Magic Keyboard and everything worked fine.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple’s so-called ecosystem. 🙄

Hmmm. Not looking good then? I've checked and it is the same without the display - no controls over the laptop itself.

MacBook Pro (14‑inch, 2023) is listed as compatible. Disappointing.

Are you running the latest Sequoia update?
It seems to be necessary.

Ooh 15.1 available. It hadn't notified me. Doing so now...

I think 15.1 fixed it. Thanks very much.
