You can use the hardware keys, but unless your using a keyboard that does not have a fn key, you won't have this problem. Keep in mind if you do not have a fn key, your going to have to either reach to the machine to perform this task (i.e. if you have an external keyboard with a notebook) or constantly go into System Preferences and toggle the setting. SO, solution, don't use a keyboard without a fn key. :) On Sep 4, 2010, at 11:32 AM, Teresa Cochran wrote:
