F keys

I sign into an emulator for work and have to use my F keys extensively. It is way too much trouble to hold down the FN key at the bottom of the keyboard. Does anyone know how to turn off the pre-defined functions of the F keys and use them as they are mapped on my emulator?

Thank you.

Hi and welcome

Im not going to be much help here but there was a thread here at sevenforums that listed several key mapping apps. You could use the app to map to emulator. If not here google

Some FN keys can't be mapped, as they are special function keys, rather than standard keys.

If you tap the Fn key once won't it just swap between modes?

No. You have to hold the FN key down to make F keys work the way they used to. Exp FN F5 to refresh vs F5 to brighten the screen. I want the F5 to refresh without having to hold down the FN key each time.

Gotcha. Checked the BIOS for potential settings?

I don't know how to do that.
