I need the function keys F1-F12 WITHOUT PRESSING the Fn shift key. Can this keyboard make the F1-12 keys a simple press like a normal keyboard?

No, but there are plenty of other similar keyboards for sale that do that by default.

Because I'm using this keyboard with an Acer tablet I don't normally use function keys but on the keyboard it shows 12 function keys. Using the keyboard with the tablet really makes it feel like a netbook. Sorry I can't give you more info on the function keys. I dressage a lot of android function keys though. Home, return, search, internet, menu.....

To be honest i dont use stock keyboard. i go for swiftkey, which has voice typing (dictation) abilities. Hope this was helpful.

There is no Fn key as there are no alternate function keys. So just ctrl win alt.

The right Windows key is there per normal. In place of the left Windows key is an FN button. Responsive: The keyboard is kind of stiff.

If the "letter" keys aren't working, the device is possibly defective, however if you mean "top row" as in the Function (F1, F2, etc.) Keys, then you'll need to first press & hold the "Fn" key (lower left in K/B), then press the desired F# key (top row).

If you do use the function keys and media keys a lot, the Fn toggle switch is a nightmare, but if you're running Windows you can get around this with an AutoHotKey script. I wrote one so that the AppsKey (the right click on keyboard) works like an Fn key on a laptop. Now my toggle switch stays in the white Function mode and I hold down the appskey to use the media functions on the same key.

Yes there is but it acts as a function key. So in order to use it you have to press and hold the "fn" button.

YES. Someone else had posted this someplace when I first bought the keyboard. Here's the hack: SOLUTION: Press the following keys to toggle numlock off: SHIFT FN NUMLOCK DO NOT use a password that has a letter with a numeric letter, because this ONLY shuts off the num-lock after you've entered your computer. Good luck!

Haven't used it in awhile, but yes, that was one way. I believe you could also reverse the mapping and have the function keys be the default. The NICE thing about the odd position of the CTRL key is that it brings your hand into a better position to strike more keys.

The menu key is supposed to produce the same result as a right click on the mouse would correct ? If so then the FN key does not act like it.Although some manufacturers use FN + [some other key] for the menu key, I haven't been able to reproduce it.

Yes, you would hit all three keys. It's not difficult. This may not be the best keyboard if you plan to use F keys a lot or a number pad. It is ideal, however, if you plan to write on it. It's still my favorite keyboard after many years of extensive use. You can also reassign the function and control keys easily.

No, it does not have dedicated keys for what you ask. It has those functions under the F keys which you need to press together with the function key.

Regret it is really made for Microsoft Windows and Android - the Operating Systems overwhelmingly most used by most people.Ctrl A selects All, Ctr X cuts, Ctrl C copies, and Ctrl V pastes. Shift A selects just a range... Those work with both Android and Windows. The twelve function keys F1 to F12 are features for Windows as well. There are free programs for the Windows world that let you assign keystrokes to customize what those function keys do. Perhaps such exist for Apple s that would let you make those keys do what you want. Sorry.

You use the Fn key. There is s function on the top right on one of the F keys you press along with holding down the Fn key.

Hello. This keyboard is built with the Chrome OS in mind. It does not have the function keys associated with a Windows keyboard. The basic keys would probably work, but if you ever needed an F key or a Windows home key one would be out of luck. Hope this helps.

Function keys = yes; F1..F12 = no. There is a row of keys above the number keys with various function icons. I don't think I've ever used them or thought much about them.
