Well, yeah, it was kinda shot in the dark... I didn't even remember if Macs *had* F# keys, but since HilsB mentioned trying one, I though, well, it's worth a try... > > On Mac keyboards, the F# keys along the top are primarily for things > like volume, pause/play, screen brightness, etc.. To invoke the actual > F11 command, you need to hold down the fn key (aka Function key). You mean, that's where HP got the idea from? I have to disable it (there's a BIOS setting for it) in every new(ish) HP notebook one of my clients buy... I have yet to find *one* person that thinks the "HP way" is better, for two reasons: - In the "HP way", those keys (volume, screen brightness etc.) are just TOO available -- it's easy to hit one by mistake. The "Fn" combo protects the user from mistakes. - Even among people with medium-to-low computer skills, the F1, F3 and F5 keys, at least, are fairly well-known and used. "Hiding" them is a minor, but noticeable hindrance. - And, for advanced users (the ones who are familiar with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F# combos...), adding another shift key to the combos is a major hindrance. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
