@tamga -- exactly what keyboard do you have? Does the keyboard have a "FN LOCK" key, that "locks-out" the "application" mode of the F1-through-F12 keys?

The simple & quick solution is to purchase a "gaming" keyboard that does not have a "FN" key -- just the F1-to-F12 keys.

You can connect and use this USB keyboard when you are "gaming", and still use the regular keyboard for non-gaming purposes.

hi
unfortunately the only possible solutions currently are software, or hardware replacement
There is a solution, but that is to block the key, and you may break the keyboard
Unfortunately either this is not suitable or user feedback
