Mapping Function keys
I am trying to run a Mac port of Bioshock 2, a game that depends heavily on F-keys. These do not work as they should. The distributors' FAQ says:
-----------------
By default, Mac OS X uses the F keys to control items such as volume and brightness. To use an F key for a game command hold down the fn key, then press the F key you wish to use.
To automatically enable the F keys, follow these steps:
- Open System Preferences ( Menu → System Preferences).
- Click on Keyboard or Keyboard and Mouse (depending on the version of Mac OS X you are running).
- Select the Keyboard tab.
- Check the Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys checkbox.
The F keys will now work without using the fn key.
-----------------
This fails for me because my full-sized keyboards have no Fn key to toggle between F-key states, nor does the above route through Prefs appear on my (April 2008) 24" iMac.
Is there a known way to implement this toggling and map it to a game-unused key?
