HP Recommended
Product: Wireless pavillon keyboard and mouse

Hi all !

bough a new keyboard and mouse : HP Pavilion Wireless Keyboard and Mouse 800 (Black), which I use from my docking station for my HP elitebook 840 G4.

I usually use a lot the Alt + F4 and other F1-F12 keys but I cannot use it on this keyboard as it activates directly the other function of this key described by a little icon (volume up/down, brightness, play, next, open settings etc...).

It seems I can only use now the combination of Fn + Alt + F4 - which is obviously less intuitive.

 

 - I don't want to deactivate the hotkeys from the bios as it will deactivate it on my laptop as well (when I undock it).

 

- I have tried a lot of combination of FN+ shift / alt + shift / fn + esc /alt + Esc / fn + esc+ alt ... trying to switch to a standard use of Fn keys, but haven't found the correct one apparently.

 

Can you help me understand how I can switch this keyboard back to a normal use of the F1 - F12 keys ?

Thanks in advance.

victor
