Bought a used Macbook Pro (Mid-2010) recently and everything works flawlessly on it, except 1 thing....F4 does not bring up the launchpad. In older system like El Capitan work perfect. My macOs, High Sierra on MacBook Pro 6.2.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
HI MarcosGallardo,
It sounds like you're having issues with the shortcut on your MacBook. If we have that correct, let's check out the following.
Change Keyboard preferences on an Intel-based Mac
The section "Use F1, F2, etc." should help.
Cheers.
Thank you MarcosGallarado,
Does it work or allow you to change the assignment in safe mode?
How to use safe mode on your Mac

Thanks MarcosGallardo,
Does anything happen when you press F4?
How to use the function keys on your Mac
Cheers.
I did not achieve it in safe mode either, the same thing happens you can assign it F4 + function key (for example) but not F4 only.
I have checked the keyboard configuration and it does not allow me to use F4 for Launchpad, it only allows me to use other keys but not the one that corresponds, in Macos Sierra it works out of the box without configuring anything but in High Sierra I reinstalled from scratch and it does not solve either, reinstalling older systems works fine.
The other keys, volume, brightness, keyboard backlight, work as expected, the key also works correctly only it does not work for Launchpad
I have installed Catalina with the DOSDUDE1 patch and everything works wonderfully!
And also the Launchpad key!
I do not know if this is legal where you reside, here in Argentina it is completely legal, thanks to all who spent their time helping me.
Thank you for your interest and Merry Christmas!
Nothing, that's the problem, it is not assigned to anything and it does not let me assign it to the Launchpad either
Great idea I'll try tomorrow, great community, surprised by the support received! Merry Christmas to all!!!
