Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / February 2006Keyboard - How to get f-lock to come on automatically
Hi, I have a Microsoft Office Keyboard (the one with the scroll wheel and application buttons on the left). I was wondering how to get the F Lock key to come on automatiacally. I find myself using the F keys more often than the short cut keys, such as Open, New, Send, Reply, etc. I can't find anything in the Help file. I know it's not that big a deal to have to press the F Lock key first, but it would be a lot more convenient. Thanks, HMC The F-lock key cannot engage automatically. That's one of the reasons the Microsoft Office Keyboard is no longer sold or supported. You may wish to consider upgrading to a newer desktop set. Example: Microsoft® Wireless LaserT Desktop 6000 http://www.microsoft.com/products/info/product.aspx?view=22&pcid=a5032218-720a-4 706-907d-6ef6027cdfe6&type=ovr  SignatureCarey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Hi, I have a Microsoft Office Keyboard (the one with the scroll wheel and | application buttons on the left).

Just wanted to mention that this issue has been addressed with the newer MS keyboards. They are capable of remembering the F-Lock state. I have one of these. Since I set F-Lock to ON, the keyboard has worked as advertised and this state stays active.

Essentially, any new keyboard that has been released since Sept 2004 should have that feature SignatureJason Tsang - Microsoft MVP Find out about the MS MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx >>>Hi, I have a Microsoft Office Keyboard (the one with the scroll wheel and >>>application buttons on the left).

Scancode mapper doesn't work on USB keyboards SignatureJason Tsang - Microsoft MVP Find out about the MS MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx >>> Hi, I have a Microsoft Office Keyboard (the one with the scroll wheel >>> and [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Sam >Yup, that is true. > >Scancode mapper doesn't work on USB keyboards I learned that one the hard way. I now have one of the new MS ergonomic 4000 keyboards . This one has the F-lock key off by default, even with a USB connection. Sam |
