Keyboard function keys F13-F19 on the numeric keyboard

I have the Apple numeric keyboard. Is there a possibility to assign functions to the function keys F13-F19? Thanks for any help, but please don't tell me to write a script:) I need rather simple solutions...

Thanks for the reply. But this does not seem to be possible. Under "keyboard shortcuts" (in my case in German "Tastaturkurzbefehle") there is no helpful option that allows to set up commands for the additional function keys (under OS X7.2).

  • What are Numeric Keypad Function keys F13-19?

    I'm new to Apple wired numeric keyboard. Love it...but want to use the function keys F13-19.
    Haven't been able to find doc or discussion-- please can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks!

    Hello:
    Function keys have to be programmed....before you ask, I do not do that or know how to do that.  You can change the way function keys behave:

  • What happens to the function keys when i unplug the extended keyboard?

    i use my laptop (12 function keys) with a wired apple aluminum extended keyboard (19 function keys). i assigned a few functions (screen shots mostly) to the upper function keys on the keyboard... f16-f19. but when i unplug the keyboard i'm not sure how to get those functions on the laptop keyboard.
    what happens to those functions when the keyboard is unplugged? is there a way to map those functions to the keyboard so that they are re-assigned when it's unplugged?

    question still remains: do f16, etc., exist or can they be re-invented once the USB keyboard is removed (besides having to re-map the shortcuts each time)?
    I haven't found a way, though there might be.
    or even: is it possible to assign two different key combos/function keys to a single command/shortcut?
    Now that depends on the application that's assigning the shortcuts. Some Microsoft and Adobe apps allow multiple shortcuts per function, I've taken advantage of those a few times myself. But cheaper apps often cut you off at one shortcut.

  • Function Key F13

    For years I've only used Shift/F13 for an Action in Photoshop (CS2) -- rotate 90 degrees anticlockwise. Today, F13, with or without Shift, suddenly takes a screenshot and puts .png files on my desktop. I have all Keystrokes switched off in System Prefs, and I've now even trashed Grab (I use Snapz Pro X or Screenflick anyway). I've repaired the Preferences, run TechTool Pro 4 over my discs, and restarted. Nothing makes any difference: F13 still takes a screenshot. What could make my iMac suddenly decide to do this?! BTW, I use a Logitech S530 cordless keyboard and mouse. I've added no new software, and haven't changed anything. NOTHING is set to use F13 apart from Photoshop. Can anyone help, please?

    @Dave -
    Back to your original problem with your S 530 Mac Logitech Keyboard (and mouse combo - but I use a trackball and usually forget about that part) anyway....
    I have primarily stuck with Tiger since the release of Leopard. Leopard has major issues. For everything good and new and innovative - there are just as many bad things with it. Otherwise Apple probably wouldn't have announced that Snow Leopard (10.6) is to be a Stability upgrade.
    Anyway - I'm piping my 2 cents in as I have had the same problem recently.
    I hvae had a primary install of Tiger with the Logitech S 530 Cordless White Mac Keyboard. It's a blast and I absolutely love the key response on it.
    I also had a copy of Leopard running from an external FireWire Drive - mostly to check it out and wait for stuff to get Leopard compatible. Except that Leopard has proven to be problematic at best.
    Was having this same exact problem on my FW Leo install. Except that I typically Map the Dashboard launch to F13. I was chalking the "forced Screenshot" up to yet more Leo issues. At this point I think it's a glitch in Logitech LCC software.
    Recently my HD died inside my computer. Took it apart and upgraded the drive. Have spent the past week rebuilding and re-installing a fresh system of sorts.
    This time out I decided to run Partitions - 'cause I still use Tiger for a few things and switching back and forth is no biggie. So I have Tiger on one Partition and Leo on a 2nd.
    Runnin the latest 2.6 LCC for the S530 I think is the problem. After the OS install the first thing I always do is go thru and set User Prefs and settings throughout the OS. Then start installing 3rd party add-ons like LCC or Unsanity's Haxies or Growl etc... Well Dashboard via F13 was running just fine while I was tweaking and installing stuff. As I was jumping to it to monitor bandwidth and system processes via iStat Pro and also checking the weather for tomorrow.
    The last thing I installed was LCC 2.6. Didn't think anything about it - went on doing other stuff and then needed to jump to Dashboard for 5 seconds. But no Dashboard - I hear a camera sound coming from my speakers. I try again and Screenshot after Screenshot ladning on the Desktop. I was doing a bunch of installs - not sure in what order - and decided to uninstall one at a time starting with LCC 2.6.
    Then Test everything after each single uninstall. Sure enough - if I didn't regain accessing Dashboard via F13 as soon as I uninstalled LCC 2.6.
    I went out to Logitech's website and dug around - not very organized and couldn not find the Product Page for the s530 within their site without going to Google and searching back into Logitech. Nobody specifically touched on the F13 Key issue - but Logitech posted that they are aware of issues pertaining to LCC and Leopard - even though they say that LCC v2.3.1 is compatible. Maybe it just barely functions. In between those 2 versions is 2.4. I dug around some more and found a copy of it and have installed it - but have yet to restart my computer to test if it works and maybe something Logitech tweaked in 2.6 broke.
    I don't think this is a direct Apple problem - other than the fact that Apple tends to change and move things around within the OS from one version to the next Which tends to disrupt 3rd party add-ons. Then the 3rd parties have to go back and tweak their stuff to accommodate the new OS "design".
    I'll post something after I test v2.4.
    PS if you uninstall the LCC you can use your keyboard just fine without it and like I said F-key mapping is regained. The Volume controls also work (up - down - mute). The Power Key works. Also the Play Controls (prev - next - play/ pause).
    The Custom Mapped Keys don't work tho - Home - eMail - Spotlight - iTunes and iPhoto launch buttons.

    Is there any way to programme the last 4 Function keys on the slim (wired) keyboard on my MacPro?
    I want to use F16-F19 for key commands in Nuendo but these keys all return the letter P.
    I've looked in the keyboard part of system prefsand in Apple Help but can't find any reference to these keys anywhere.

  • Keyboard Function-Key mapping in Forms 10gAS

    Greetings,
    Can anyone help with a quick outline of the way keyboard function keys are implemented on the Application Server in Forms 10g?
    My situation is that I have two unix servers, one for Development, one for Production. When running my Forms from a browser window, one of the servers responds to the F8 key for Execute-Query, the other server does not.
    I presume the mapping is done on the server, with some sort of configuration file. Perhaps something's been overridden by mistake somewhere. I have checked forms.conf, forms.properties, formsweb.cfg and frmweb.res, and cannot see anything that might relate to these Keyboard Function-Key settings. I've also tried finding a Developers Reference Manual online, but have had no luck.
    It's bound to be something really simple, but I can't seem to crack it. Do you know what I'm missing?
    Pete ?:|

    There are two basic versions of key mapping fmrweb.res files. Forms is released with a fmrweb.res file that has Ctrl+S for commit.
    But there is also a fmrpcweb.res file that can be used in place of the other -- you just rename it as fmrweb.res in the other's place.
    Both files are simple text files you can edit with Notepad or other simple text editors.
    You can find more about fmrweb.res in the first post (a ways down) in this thread:

  • Function keys do not work on new wireless keyboard

    Hello....my good friend just bought a new iMac G5 2.1 spotlight model computer and has had troubles with his new wireless keyboard in that all 16 function keys do not work at all. Got any ideas or is it just a defective keyboard? He bought this at my recommendation so i am trying to make it all work smoothly for him. Would appreciate a quick response as he has now had this mac for 2 weeks and we cannot figure out the problem. Thanks in advance for any and all help

    I have no issues using the Apple BT keyboard. All function keys that apply to the iPad work correctly; display brightness, iPod app control, etc.
    Use the most recent version of iOS and also iTunes on your computer. Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    If that  does not work, then restore the iPad to it factory settings.

  • Keyboard function Key issues

    So my Keyboard on my Macbook has had some issues over the past 6 months, so about 6 months ago it started muting the sound on my computer when I pressed certain keys like : enter, esc, P, /, \, 0 or ) and a few others, to fix it though i need to hold down the mute button stops the other keys from muting my sound so I just keep a weight on it, since I'm a student and have barely any money. but lately after I finally updated my OS to maverick I found the Function keys option and clicked it, on, now it uses that App Expose function instead, so i can literally swap between muting and app expose. I've generally lived with it up until this point but I think I need to get it fixed, I doubt it is something i can fix at home but I just want to know what is happening before I spend my precious little money.

    Sorry I left some stuff out. My keyboard has 2 sets of functions so when I UnCheck the Use 'F1, F2 etc keys as standard function keys' it switches to the Mute function on the F10 key, the decrease volume key on F11, etc so when it is on this certain keys will trigger the mute function without me actually pressing the mute key. Where as when I switch the 'F1, F2 etc keys as standard function keys' on those same keys that triggered mute now trigger         "app expose" function, so it doesn't help, also i didn't want to go into excruciating detail last time but some other keys either don't work like the mute key or the increase volume key and other keys do other keys functions. so in summary I probably should get the keyboard replaced but how long does that take? and how much does it cost

  • Compaq mini cq10-600 keyboard not typing function keys

    My function keys are lockd into the mode where when I push any of them they are already hot keys.  They are not operating as F1, F2 etc. 
    I need the F1, F2, etc because I am operating a dos program.
    If I press the Function key beside the ctrl key then press F1 it works properly otherwise it is full time as hot keys.
    How can I get it to be as a F1, F2 F3 key???
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there @joy2015,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that your function keys are not working properly. I am happy to help with this.
    I would recommend screening your system for malware, viruses, and other malicious software as a starting point. Then if you find nothing you can try doing a system restore, to a point before you first noticed the issue.

  • Disable the need of the function key when using the control key

    I'm often using the F1-12 keys when using an IDE for developing. Those IDE's use the CTR+F1-12 shortcuts quite a bit and it's always needed to use FN+CTR+F1-12 which is ridiculous and redundant. Is there a way to keep using the functions assigned to F1-12 (Adjust volume, brightness...) without pressing the function key and be able of using CTR or ALT +F1-12 without the need of pressing the function key?

    According to the system help text it is possible. And for me it works as described in the help text on my MacBook Pro.
    But on my  Mac Pro (late 2013) the relevant control (“Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys”) is missing form System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Keyboard.
    From the help text for the topic "Use keyboard function keys:"
    If you frequently use the alternate function of a function key, you can switch the keyboard so that the function keys perform the alternate function without your pressing Fn. You then hold down Fn to use a function key’s original hardware control function. If your keyboard doesn’t have an Fn key, try holding down the Control key.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
    Open Keyboard preferences
    Select the “Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys” checkbox.

  • Trying to use function keys (like windows) on apple wireless keyboard for ipad, as well as arrow keys.

    I am connecting to my work PC through my ipad. My main program i use for work is a DAS based (ancient, i know.) Anyways, i have to be able to use function keys, i can touch the screen so if i can not it isn't the end of the world. But it would make things MUCH more easier. Is there a way to program the F1-F12 keys on the wireless keyboard to use like windows, rather than the brightness/volume/play buttons.
    Also, my arrow keys don't seem to work right. If i am using notepad, they don't work, unless i have entered down 6 lines, the arrows will work as far as those 6 lines, but won't go down on there own. If i am on the internet and there is a drop down menu, the arrow keys don't work either. As well as in my work program, they don't work at all, it's as if the arrow keys don't register.
    Help?!

    Just added information. In my work program, i can use the onscreen keyboard (but it takes up half the screen so i can not see what i am doing. From that keyboard, and can toggle back and forth from the regular keyboard, the FN screen for function keys, and the CTRL keyboard. This is why i am confused as to why the function keys and arrows will not work on the wireless, yet they have the keyboard on the screen.

  • F1 and F2 keys won't change to standard function keys even after changing keyboard preferences.

    I want to use the function keys on my MacBook Pro as standard function keys.  I checked the box in keyboard settings that's supposed to change this, and I changed the Mission Control shortcuts that corresponded with function keys.  F3-F12 all seem to have gotten the message, but F1 and F2 still change the screen brightness and won't work as standard function keys no matter what I do.  How can I fix this?

  • Function keys on the screen

    hi folks,
    I have a question, I created a new function key called 'display' for the screen using the menu painter used that in the program and executed the program successfully in DEV environment. when I moved the changes (moved all) to QAS the function key 'display' did not show up. I checked to see that the function key item got moved using the menu painter in QAS. The item is there in QAS amd checked for the changes in the program using version management. no changes How come the function key is missing on the screen in QAS?
    Am I missing anything here?
    Thanks,
    SK

    If you activate your program after you've made your screen changes, sometimes you lose those screen changes.  You may need to go back in to the screen and reactivate, then transport it.  If necessary, make a small change (like adding a blank line somewhere in the flow logic of the screen) in order to get the screen changes into a transport.  I hope this helps.
