Subject: Re: New Mac user -- question about function keys


Hi:
The function keys at the top of the keyboard are set by default to control things like brightness and volume. When using voiceover, the function keys are often employed to perform software related tasks. Therefore, it is recommended that VO users change the setting to have them do Software by default. This way, you might only require to use your FN key at the bottom of the keyboard for things like volume, Pageup, pagedown, end and home. The setting to make the f-keys perform software functions is in your apple menu, (ccl-option-m), under system preferences. Select hardware, keyboard, and keyboard again, and check the box that says, "use all f1, f2, etc. keys as standard function keys..."

Hi Everyone,

I just got my Mac today and I have about a million questions. But the one I
guess I'll start with is why don't the function keys do what they are
supposed to do?

I remember reading something about how they have hardware functions, but how
do I get them to perform software functions like closing an application?

Thanks in advance,
Kimber
