Support for keyboards with FN button but without FN-lock #25

Hey there, first of all nice app you did!

I'm using a keyboard which has Fn button that I have to press in order to use media functions, but it has not a fn-lock key, that's why I found your useful app. However I thing it would be a nice feature being able to trigger the F1-F12 keys while I press my Fn button, all of these obviously with the fn status locked as the default behavior. Or even would it be possible to change the Toggle Lock button with my Fn button?

Other problem I have is I can't figure it out how to setup a custom app. Like for example the calculator. The only thing I get when I select "Custom app" is that same text.. but have no idea on how to set a custom app

Last thing is also when I select the Launch_Media function, it does nothing, what action or app is supposed to be running there?

Thanks in advance.

Hello there!

Thank you so much for using the app.

When you select an app — you have to select it via the folder button icon on the right. And it should be able to run your app. Are you using the latest version of this app?

I will look into the fn-lock to perform the reverse when it’s locked on pressing the F1-F12 keys but, that part is bit tricky as well since FN keys are usually hardware specific and cannot be detected programmatically.

Launch_media is like an inbuilt method to trigger windows default media player. If you think this is a bug please let me know.

Thanks! Rajat [PastedGraphic-1.png]
