App won't let external keyboard use its fn key.

[ekinyuksel12]

Describtion When using a external keyboard pressing the external keyboards fn key triggers the laptops fn key. For example I use a %60 keyboard when I press fn+2 it should activate F2 key but it triggers the laptops fn+F2 function which is lowering the keyboad brightness

Clear scenario to Reproduce

1. Connect a external keyboard
2. Hold down the external keyboards fn key and press a function key (F1-F12)
3. It should activate the laptops function

Expected behavior External keyboards fn key should only affect the external keyboards functions. When I press fn+2 I expect to get F2 key instead of lowering the keyboard brightness. Also adding a option in the settings to couple and uncouple the fn keys can be good for customizability.

@ekinyuksel12 hello.

External keyboard special keys should be handled by it's manufacturer's hardware / software :) It has nothing to do with G-Helper :)

But this issue is not present when using armory create instead of g-helper

@ekinyuksel12 i really doubt that :)

P.S. Also make sure that you dont' have FN-Lock enabled (cause in that case all F-row will be processed as hotkeys). If you have enabled it by yourself - uncheck it under G-helper -> Extra
