Re: function key activation iffy

I think that is why others reported they weren't having problems with
the function keys working.  To my knowledge the "fn" key only changes
the function keys like f1, f2, etc from controlling the hardware to
software.  So if F1 is decreasing the screen brightness (controlling
hardware) you would then hold down the "fn" key and then it would
allow the software to register that F1 was pressed.  You can't use it
as a modifier key such as control, command, or option.
