I purchased a new laptop with Windows 8. It's F
buttons don't work as F
buttons, they seem to work by default as the weird icons on them, such as media controls. To "refresh" a browser window with the F5
key, I actually have to hit fn
+F5
. Probably the most annoying example is, as a web developer, I like to hit F12
to go full screen, but on my laptop hitting F12
now puts my laptop into Airplane mode and disables the Wi-Fi. All that said, ctrl
+F4
and alt
+F4
works as expected (closing windows/tabs).
How can I make my laptop's F
keys work as one would expect and not the weird "shortcut" keys?
which laptop do you use? OEMs often provide tools to configure the keys. check this. – magicandre1981 – 2013-05-02T04:12:52.217
