Re: Using my bluetooth magic-keyboard How do I get function keys above my num pad to control volume with Mojave?

You do not do this using F16 through F19, like on your other keyboard. On your Magic Bluetooth keyboard, you can adjust volume using: F11 for volume down. F12 for volume up. You can use F10, to Mute/Unmute. Note: Depending on how you have your F-keys setup in Keyboard Preferences, you may also n
