Lenovo Yoga Flex :: How To Change Default Behavior Of Function Keys

Jan 17, 2013

Is there any way to change the default behavior of the function keys (e.g., F1, F2, F3...) back to function keys like all other computers?  When using Excel, it is extremely annoying not to be able to access key one-key functions like F2 and F4.

HP G72 :: How To Change Default Function Keys

Dec 20, 2010

I much prefer to use the function keys AS FUNCTION KEYS. I don't want the default to be fast forward or rewind or stop or sound options. I want f2 to be f2 (edit excel cell) and so on. Currently I press fn EVERY time. It's annoying.
 
Is there a way of changing the defualt key to be what was originally intended? HP has made finding this information impossible so far.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Flex :: Resume From Sleep Trackpad Does Not Function

Nov 1, 2013

I'm having an issue with the track-pad on my Yoga 2 pro.  I have had the machine for a couple of days and occasionally when I open the machine (into laptop mode) and resume from sleep the track-pad does not function (the cursor doesn't show either).  When this happens I also noticed that the synaptics software icon doesn't appear in the task bar tray.
 
Usually restarting the machine fixes the problem but one time it took 5 or 6 restarts for it to start working again.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S Series :: S440 Function Keys F1-F12 Without Fn Key

Jan 3, 2014

S440. I prefer to use the function keys F1-F12 without using the Fn key. It seems like in other models there is an option in the BIOS to change this, but not on my machine. Also the Lenovo software nor Windows configuration seems to be able to change this. Is there anyway to do this?

Dell Inspiron 7000 :: Function Keys Change In Use Unexpectedly

Nov 18, 2014

It seems as if the first time after I restart my laptop (Dell inspiron 7000 series, windows 8.1) and I attempt to use the volume/ backlight toggle/ brightness/ etc keys found on the F keys on my keyboard, I can use them pretty much freely. The problem is after I close my laptop for the first time since restarting I then have to hold the Fn button to use them. It can be very annoying at times considering you eventually get used to holding the Fn key, so after the first time using them since restarted you end up hitting F4/5/6 etc instead of changing the brightness or whatever setting you are trying to change. I was wondering if there was some type of setting where I can make these keys permanently free to use as opposed to having to hold the Fn keys after the first time the laptop is in sleep mode.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Reversing Function Of All F Keys - Z500

Oct 10, 2012

The default behavior of F1 through F12 keys on the z500 are set to perform laptop functions like mute, turn sound or brightness up and down and so on.
 
Is there a way to reverse the way F1, F2.. F12 keys work, so they work like on any other regular keyboard.
 
I use the basic functionality of the F-keys all the time, when renaming files, searching and so on, and I would like to be able to use them without having to press "fn" every time.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad P400 - Reverse Function (Fn) Keys

Feb 24, 2013

I recently purchased an Ideapad P400, and I have noticed that the default for  the keys where  F1 and F2, etc. usually are, are now the mute and volume buttons.  To access the F1, F2....F12 keys, you now have to press Fn + your desired F key.  
 
While I understand many people probably find this useful, I play several games where these keys are essential, and it makes playing the games nearly impossible to play if you have to hold down the Fn key in addition to the desired F key.  So my question is, is it possible to reverse the Function keys?  I would much rather press Fn + F1 to mute than have to press press Fn + F1 to access F1.

Lenovo T440p T400 / T500 :: Using Function Keys In Applications?

Jul 17, 2014

Just got a T440p and it's working fine.  BUT when I go into an application like Word and either hit the function key or combine it with the Alt, Ctrl, or Shift key, I still get the default action of the Funciton key.  For example, in Word, the Alt-F9 combination is used to display field codes.  When I do that, however, I get the Control Panel popup.  Similarly, in a browser, I should be able to hit the F12 key and get the Developers pane at the bottom of the screen.  But instead in IE, Chrome, and Firefox, I get a My Computer popup.

Lenovo 11e E/Edge :: Function Keys Require Pressing Fn Key On E545

Jun 8, 2010

I just purchased a new E545, which has the unusual keyboard layout that I like -- the Control key inside of the special Fn key. Of course, it seems Lenovo has gone and switched the way the function keys operate so that now you have to press the Fn key to get the F-keys.
 
How can I swap the function keys operation so that I need the Fn key to operate the PC and media controls?

Lenovo G710 B / G Series :: Function Keys Do Not Display Action On Screen

Mar 8, 2014

I recently downgraded my G710 from Windows 8 (which it came with), to Windows 7.  The only issue I've noticed is that it does not display anything on screen when you use the function keys, such as the volume up or down, or bright ness up or down.  The keys work, but it would be nice to see on screen that my volume is set at 2% vs say 100% when I'm turning it up or down.

Lenovo M490 C/E/K/M/N/V Series :: Could Not Find Software That Controls Function Keys

Dec 22, 2013

I've bought Lenovo M490s notebook one week ago without OS. I've installed Windows 7 Professional x64 retail.First of all I could not find software that controls Function keys. After installing every driver and software from support page (M490s) my function keys just doesnt work except Fn+F1 sleep, Fn+F2 turn off the screen, Fn+F6 disable touchpad and play buttons. Also no information was displaying on the screen after pressing such buttons - no volume and brightness level.
 
After doing some research I've found and installed Hotkey Features Integration from Lenovo M490 (without S) support page. Every function key is started to work, information on the screen also begin to display (volume and brightness level).Now I spotted a huge problem, after 3 or 4 hibernation volume and brightness keys (fn+up,down,left,right) just stopping to work!!! Fn+F1-F12 combinations are working normal. Then after reboot brightness and volume keys are working again!!

Lenovo Yoga 2 Flex :: How To Access BIOS

Jun 21, 2014

I purchased a new Flex 2-15 online the past week. The model name shown on the back is "20405". Manufacture date is May 12, 2014. The User Guide refers to a "Novo Button", which is shown in diagrams as being on both the left edge and the right edge near the front. Neither location has a button of any sort. The right edge has a pinhole in the supposed button location. A curved arrow icon is next to the pinhole. I have an inkling this may be some sort of factory reset button. Lacking the Novo button, what is the procedure for accessing the features which the manual says are accessed by pressing this non-existent button?. That is, BIOS, and/or the one touch image backup/restore system?
