How to active F16 function key?

I have a MacPro with a wireless keyboard that has F1-F16 function keys. I cannot figure out how to activate them; I am trying to emulate the Pause/Break key on a PC, which is F16 on a Mac. System Preferences, Keyboards doesn't give an option to activate the function keys. Some instructions I've found for other keyboards say to hold down the function key (Fn) while pressing the desired function key, in my case F16. But there is no function key on this keyboard.
So, how do I activate the F16 function key to make it act as a PC Pause/Break key? Thanks!!

When you open the KB/M prefs are there not several buttons at the top? Labled "Keyboard", "Mouse", "Bluetooth" and "Keyboard Shortcuts"? If not, there is something wrong with your installation. If there is, "Keyboard shortcuts" is the one you want to click on.

  • How to use standard function keys as custom keys

    how to use standard function keys as custom keys.
    i have encountered that problem while developing a screen, there i'm supposed to use standard function key F2 ( which actually meant for choose) for clearing the screen fields where the cursor is present and f1 for saving data that entered in screen fields, etc...
    kindly help me out.

    Hi ,
    Solution to use SAP reserve function keys F1 .. F4 (mostly this requirement comes up for RF screens) can be acheived by assigning your new Function code using the Menu path Utilities --> F key Consistency in the Menu Painter (SE41) . Once you assign your cutom function code to the standard Fn keys the only remaining step is to make sure that you set a curson on any of the field on sceen by using the Key Word "SET CURSOR" .
    If you dont use the key word SET CURSOR in the PBO of the screen then you might not see any response for F4.
    Thanks

    Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.

  • How do you set function keys ?

  • How to use the Function keys as function keys instead of action keys?

    When I press F1 or any of the other F keys it does what the symbol says on the key (volume/skip track etc).
    How do I actually use the F keys and not the symbols?

    Hi again John,
    ...is there a way to switch that around so I use the "fn" key for sound etc?
    Do the following:
    1. Fire up System Preferences
    2. Select Keyboard & Mouse
    3. Select the Keyboard tab.
    4. Tick the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" box.
    That's it. You have now reversed the default use of the function keys. If you need to increase/decrease sound, brightness etc then press 'fn' plus the appropriate function key.

  • How can I program function keys?

    I want to program function keys to launch and shut down programs that I frequently use. How do I go about doing this? Thanks

    Probably not doable since keyboard shortcuts are application task specific. Why not just use the Dock? Single-click launches any app mounted on it. CMD+Q quits any.

    is there any way how to migrate 6i Forms binary resource file with function keys to 10g Forms text-based resource file with function keys (e.g. fmrcsw.res -> fmrweb.res)?
    Thx.

    this is a manual way of migration you have to do, as I know. Extracting from Oracle Terminal and importing in fmrweb.res is not supported

  • How to turn off Function Keys permanently

    How do you turn off the function keys permanently? In Quark I use the 'F' keys for guides etc... and just want to have to press one key, not two.

    Before you go to the trouble of entering all the keys see if the Quark default F-Keys will work. I don't have much in the way of apps loaded on Leopard yet but the default Photoshop F-keys work without my disabling anything in keyboard shortcuts. F9 still brings up Expose in Photoshop but I haven't disabled it. I don't know, however, if Quark XPress works that way, though. They tend to play by their own rules

  • How do I enable Function Keys for Capt 5 simulations?

    I have a simualtion where the learner is instructed to press certain function keys (F11, F4) to "activate" a window within out system (this new window is part of the next slide).
    During preview, the function keys are enabled,but when launching the siulation via the WEB or LMS, those keys are not fucitonal and i get the following response by activating the webaddress field instead of moving to the next step.
    is there anything in the settings/properties that i need to modify to get the expected result?

    My understanding of the problem with function-key keystrokes is the browser window thinks you're talking to it before it lets the keystroke pass through to the SWF.  This is further complicated by which browser you're using, or if you publish as EXE.  Not sure about publishing in AIR.
    this thread has a good graphic that shows what works or doesn't:

  • How to change the Function Keys functionality?

    Hello everyone I'm new here :)
    I have a stupid big problem which is whenever I try to click the function keys in Programs, Games, etc.. it doesn't work for that program or game it just does what's on them!
    For an example when I click on F10 or F9 it changes the volume, and when I click on F2 and F3 they change the brightness of the screen!!! And F5 doesnt refresh!!! Thats it they do nothing else at all, how can I change that to their old original ways like in Windows Vista and XP!!!
    I'm not sure if the problem is with Windows or Toshiba Laptop, I have a Toshiba Satellite Windows 8.
    Pleaaaaaaaaase someone help! This is urgent.

    You can change it to work in standard mode.
    To do this open Toshiba desktop Assist > System settings > Keyboard and change Function keys mode to Standard F1-F12 mode.
    After restart check it again.
