S440 - Disable Function Key Indicator Light

S440 - Fn key swapped with Ctrl (set in bios) and function lock ON (now the Ctrl key + Esc).
I really like it this way but that little yellow light on the Fn key is really annoying. Other than a bit of black electrical tape, is there anyway to kill that light? (while retaining function lock ON)
I'm looking for registry tweaks rather than physically removing and killing the light.

I have a ThinkPad T440s, and have the FnLock function enabled but the indicator (in the Fn button) remains OFF. And when I turn the FnLock fuction OFF the indicator remains ON. I think it's suppose to work in the opposite way.
Also hate the possition of the FN and Ctrl keys, it would be muco better if they are used the other way around as in most of the computers and keybords. Hope they can improve that. If any one knows how to change it I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

Disable Function Key F3 in Internet Explorer

I would like to disable function keys F1 and F3 while playing
my flash movie in internet explorer. I am using these keys within
Flash to do some actions.
I got the script working for Function Key F1 using the
following script
<script language="javascript">
document.onhelp = function() {return(false);}
window.onhelp = function() {return(false);}
</script>
But unable to make it to work for function key F3.
Thanks in advance,
Desmond

Hi des_shun, I have workaround for this issue.
First thing we have to do is disable keyboard event for F3 key on HTML document so that even if focus is on html document, default Search functionality will not popup. Next thing is, flash must contain KeyboardEvent listener for keyboard response. This is where we will keep our custom F3 functionality. This setting works well on Chrome & FireFox.
Now IE thing.
The prolem with IE is that if any one of F3, F5, F6,F7 & F11 key is pressed, when the focus is on flash movie it directly executes the default browser functions like searching, refreshing etc never allowing flash to execute its keyeventlistener. But if focus is on document body, then F3 and other keys work fine.
Here is the catch.
All we have to do is whenever focus is shifted to flash, we should revert that focus to document body.
Here is how we can do this.
Capture the MouseClick event in your flash movie. Then in this mouseclick event handler, call javascript function to change focus to document again. Below is the sample code.
//Flash Code
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mClick);
function mClick(event:MouseEvent)
          ExternalInterface.call("changeFocus");
// Javascript Code
<script type="text/javascript"</script>
          function changeFocus()
                         document.body.focus();
    </script>
Thats it!

Disabling Function Keys in Select Applications

Long ago in an OS far away, I knew how to disable the function keys so I could map them as I chose in my mappable apps. I know this was — at the time — a terminal command, but I just can't remember it. I would settle for knowing how to do that again, but what I would really like is the ability to either quickly turn on and off the Mac default uses for the function keys or, better yet, have it turn off in certain apps.
I've tried the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys," button in the Keyboard & Mouse System Settings, but I don't see where that has any sort of effect. The reference there to the 'fn' key makes me think it's only for laptops. Do I have to restart the app or the computer? Will that do what I'm looking for?
Any help?
Thanks,
Martin

yes, it does have an effect. it lets you use F-keys as regular keys and map them to what you want.
The reference there to the 'fn' key makes me think it's only for laptops.
no, this is for any keyboard that has a fn key. if you have it on your keyboard then you get that checkbox in keyboard system preferences. if you don't have it the checkbox won't even show up. when the box is checked you have to hold fn to get the functionality of the F-keys written on them. otherwise they act as regular keys that can be mapped to whatever you want. you can do this in system preferences->keyboard&mouse->keyboard shortcuts.

Disabling function keys

Hi friends,
Is there any way to disable all the function keys in my forms 10g application?
Regards
Jeneesh

Function keys allow also to suppress a record in a block (DELETE_RECORD) or to create a new one (INSERT_RECORD), or to change the current record (KEY-NXTREC, KEY-PRVREC) for example. If you deactive every function keys, the end user will not be able to change the current record with the keyboard.

Querying problem - FRM-41009 :Function Keys not allowed.. DIFFERENT!!

amazin place ..this is... learned a lot from this place when it comes to developing oracle forms.... just such a lot of support... the issue at hand... yes
the problem im facing is when im querying in my form.. it keeps giving me the FRM-41009 error. however it does execute the query and even i can find records by entering a value, so it really doesnt affect the functionality of the system. but the problem is this, if i search for something non-existent, then the error gets displayed in its pretty little box smack in the middle of the screen.. ruins the entire thing... and then at the bottom i see the 'query didnt return anythin' message.
im extending an existing system which is not documented and everything is all compiled and stuff and im using some of their libraries.
im sure somewhere there is a little bit of code that is disabling function keys.. but i dont seem to understand why must that be affected by a little button on my control bar and basically i just need to get rid of the darned message..
so is there a workaround this???
experts of the forums .... HELP!!!
cheers

thanks for the quick response prashant and greg..
it works now..
ok.. but is it also possible to make an error/message to appear?
for example now, my 'query didnt match anything' message is displayed at the bottom.. id like to have it come in a window in the middle of the screen

E71 Function Key

Hello everyone.. I just owned E71 for a week.. I noticed just now that the function key in this case the function key at my E71 is quite different from the others key.. All of you E71 owners know function key rite.. It's the one at bottom left.. It's the one to combine with the left softkey to lock and unlock keypad..
What the difference is that my function key seem lighter to push.. It has a slack somehow.. While the other keys is kinda rigid to push..
Is it because the function key "work" harder than other keys?
You need to push it frequently everytime you lock and unlock keypad.. And you need to keep pushing it to enter number and any other character in the upper key display just like shift key in keyboard when writing messages..
Or it's because my keypad/E71 that defect?

Well it's turn out that my E71 keypad that had problem..
There is no such thing such as special design function key..
What makes my function key become "special" because my "under" part of the keypad is not properly fixed at place.. It's position is a little down..
I found out this by my own experiment by carefully massaging the function key "up" so the under part of the function key back to it's place.. Making it rigid again to push just like the other keys..
So what lessons do I had from this problem :
1. Carefully check the product when buying.. Ask for replacement as quickly as possible if there are any defect..
2. Always asks for second, third, fourth and so on opinions.. Don't take conclusion too early in my case the first opinion I had is from technician at Nokia Care that said my phone was "special design".. haha

Yosemite upgrade: function keys no longer work, no keyboard lights and have to sign in twice after sleep mode. Anybody else having these problems?

Hi,
Since I did the Yosemite 'upgrade' last week I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro that never happened before. The most frustrating problems involve my keyboard which doesn't light up (checked my settings and they are correct) and the top row of function keys don't do anything so I can't adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Then if my screen goes into sleep mode, when I wake it back up I have to sign back in twice - I never had to sign in at all after sleep mode before.
I'm finding that in order to get it working properly I am having to completely shut down and start up again but when the keyboard problems are happening I can't get anything on the apple dropdown to work either (i.e. shut down, restart, etc) so I can only shut down by pressing and holding the on/off button.
I've never had problems with my Macbook before and feel like Apple have completely ruined it in one update! I've had a look through other posts on here but can't find anybody else having these problems so I would be really grateful if anyone could help me and offer me some advice on how to sort it out.
Thanks!

Internal isight audio indicator light not functioning

Hey,
The isight on my macbook seems to be functioning fine. However, the left indicator light (mic) does not light up when I use my mic, whereas before, it did. The right light works fine when I am taking a picture or am on iChat. But even when I record with GarageBand, the mic light does not turn on. Any idea how to fix this? Does this mean that a big problem is soon to follow? I don't think the light's burnt out; the macbook is less than 6 months old.
Thanks.

Hello raspu3000
Take another look at your MacBook's User Guide (manual). It makes no mention of a mic indicator light. The User Guide identifies the little hole left of the iSight only as your microphone.
Perhaps you previously noticed light leaking across from the iSight indicator side rather than a true microphone indicator light, or do you mean some indicator in an application window?

Why Light & Function Keys no longer working?

Function keys from F1 through F5 do not workon my Macbook. All others do, including the F12 Dashboard command. They did work before I cloned my prior laptop configuration onto the Macbook.
I was wondering if there was a way to fix this, such as reinstalling the system.
Thank you for the help.

did your prior laptop have the same function key configuration for f1 through f5? if not then you'll probably going to need to reinstall os x and use the migration assistant in order to get all functions working correctly on the macbook.
Martin's explanation sounds more likely to work for you, so definitely check that out first.
