There's a setting in the keyboard preferences that changes the behaviour of the function keys and it's better (in my opinion) to let your users decide for themselves how the keyboard should be set up.___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Detect dim/brightness keys on laptop
As far as I know, the system provides you with this choice.
