I have delayed responding, thinking that maybe someone who actually knows something would step forward. Hasn’t happened yet, so I will give this a try.
I have a newish full size Apple keyboard (i.e., with number pad, Esc and F1 through F19 on the top row.) Also wireless, though I use mine plugged into the USB. I am on OSX10.14.2, I have no idea if the system generation would make a difference. Given all that, here is a hint. Go to System Preferences. Open the Keyboard section. You may find two checkbox options. The first is whether or not to show a Keyboard viewer in the menu bar. And (drum roll please) the second is whether to use the Function Keys as Function keys. If you have that second box checked, then (as someone already said) you would need to hold the fn key down when e.g. trying to use the F12 key to increase volume. If I am right, then uncheck that second box, relax, and get on with important stuff like looking for your spell corrector... stan > On Jan 14, 2019, at 10:06 AM, David J Brooks <pentko...@gmail.com> wrote: > > destroyed my original corded apple keyboard with decaf tea this > morning.
