How to configure function keys (F5 - F12 etc) to work with applications
Hi i´m using a MBP and I´m having troubles not finding how to configure the function keys to work with flash not with the MPB. can anyone help me with this please?.
I'm not sure quite what you're asking, but the F-keys have dual functions. One is to control hardware features such as sound volume, screen brightness etc, the other is standard software stuff (this can mean Exposé/Dashboard, or just whatever keys your software uses). You can switch between the two modes by pressing the fn key (bottom left of keyboard) while pressing the F-key you're after (e.g. if F1 alone reduces screen brightness, fn+F1 will act as a standard F1 key, and vice versa). You can change the default behaviour in System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse --> Use the F1-F12 key to control software features.
If you find that Exposé/Dashboard are still being activated when you don't want them to be (i.e. you want F9-F12 for something else), you can change the keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences. HTH.
