OPTIMUS X - swap function keys?

[mattdanielc]

Hi guys

Is it possible to swap the function keys around - so when I press F5 (for example) it turns the volume down - rather than me having to hold down 'Fn' and then hit F5?

Thanks

There’s usually a clevo control program called hotkey, should be in your running programs. If that can’t do it, then perhaps SharpKeys which is free:

If you’re tired of the way certain keys on your system work, you can re-map them to function as a different key by using a free utility named SharpKeys. Here’s how it works.

Thanks. Fn Hotkey is indeed installed - but each time I click the app, nothing launches or happens ... ?

Try reinstalling it from the downloads section on the main PCS site, sometimes it gets corrupted.

ignore that, load up clevo control center and see if that has a bit for keyboard

The downloads section (from Tech support) only lists drivers.

The control centre has 'Flexikey' and 'LED Keyboard' but nothing that I can see about changing the Fn stuff.

Then you'd need to use SharpKeys above.
