This laptoo has Fn as default instead of F keys. I hate it. I found several solutions for different vendors to switch state in bios. Is that the only option?

    i have yet to encounter a user request to change Fkey to Fn.

    It’s me. Hi. I prefer Fn over Fkey.

    The only software I use that recognizes F-keys is htop, but it also supports other key codes.

    On the flip side, I use the volume and brightness controls on my Fn keys all the time.

      My laptop has a fn lock that you can toggle, it can be very convenient to switch to f-key mode when working with some applications but most of the time I’m using volume or brightness keys.
