The arrow keys with the function key act as page up, down, home and end. I like to use these keys a lot. Is there a way to set the keyboard so the functions are reversed? On my Mac I can default the function key to on. This type of feature would make page up, down active without the function key and the arrows active with the function key.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks very much for the feedback and you are correct that to access the function buttons on the arrow key you still need to press and hold FN.
If I hear of a different method about changing those options with the arrow keys will let you know.

Hello @stxm222
There is a way to change the FN+ Function Key conbination requirements. Please see the below document and us know if that resolves your issue.

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I tried this and it works for the F1 to F12 keys. However, it doesn't do anything to the arrow keys. I guess technically they're not function keys but their behaviour is controlled by the function keys. So, page up etc still require pressing the function key.
If there's a feature request for the bios, please put this on it, unless you have some other ideas.
Thank you.
