Support for keyboards with FN locked by default #2

Hello, I'm using keyboard which has Fn button but by default acts like this:

Pressing F1-F12 will trigger media keys. Pressing Fn + F1-F12 will trigger F1-F12 keys.

So basically Fn is locked by default and to unlock it I have to hold Fn button. Sadly Fn lock key is not present on the keyboard and it's super annoying so I tried your tool but sadly it does not solve my problem.

I run program as an administrator and it doesn't matter if I lock or unlock Fn, it always triggers media buttons.

I would love to have opposite functionality which could map media keys to F1-F12 keys.

Hi @hokm! It seems that this project is getting some traction. I can make it into the feature (Probably Reverse Fn-key lock? or similar). Thanks for the input.

Please add this, I'm using Excel daily but my keyboard has no fn lock key. I would really love this software side solution as described!
