6730b Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Anyone knows of some way to get those navigation buttons to work without the damn Fn, whatever way to control their behaviour. Or am I missing some obvious setting somewhere. One hand navigation here (in browsers) is space \ shift space, passable, but would have been so much better to simply get those keys to do what is printed on them, with one finger, and rather do line scrolling with Fn+pgup\pgdn Dell Precision 5540 w10 ltsc 1809, Latitude E7440 w8.1. & a pile of other stuff.

Aaron44126 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 These four keys are what I hate most about Dell's modern keyboard layouts... This is your keyboard? It's even worse than the current Precisions (which have Home/End up at the top sharing with F11 and F12). I use SharpKeys to remap some of the keys and make it more usable. I have mapped "Right Alt" to PgUp and "Right Ctrl" to PgDn, for example, so those can be used without a press of the Fn key. (You can also use MS PowerToys which has a key remapping function.) You could "cross-map" the arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn/Home/End to effectively reverse which ones you need to press "Fn" for. (Map "Left arrow" to "Home" and then map "Home" to "Left arrow". Repeat for the other keys.) I imagine that'd be a pain whenever you want to use the actual arrow functions, though. ...Bit of a pain if you switch between using the laptop keyboard and an external/USB keyboard. The mappings will apply to the external keyboard as well. 2 Dell Precision 7770 (personal) • Dell Precision 7560 (work) • Full specs in spoiler block below Info posts (Dell) — Dell Precision key posts • Dell driver RSS feeds • Dell Fan Management — override fan behavior Info posts (Windows) — Turbo boost toggle • The problem with Windows 11 • About Windows 10 LTSC Spoiler Dell Precision 7770 (personal) Intel Core i9-12950HX ("Alder Lake"), 8P+8E 8× P cores ("Golden Cove"): 2.3 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading 8× E cores ("Gracemont"): 1.7 GHz base, 3.6 GHz turbo 128GB DDR5-3600 (CAMM) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 16GB (DGFF) Storage: 2TB system drive: Samsung 980 Pro, PCIe4 24TB additional storage: MDRAID, RAID 0 2× 8TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, PCIe4 1× 8TB Inland Performance Plus, PCIe4 Kubuntu 23.04 (KDE Plasma 5.27, Linux kernel 6.2) 17.3" 3940×2160 120 Hz display Intel Wi-Fi AX211 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth) 93Wh battery IR webcam Fingerprint reader Dell Precision 7560 (work) Intel Xeon W-11955M ("Tiger Lake") 8×2.6 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading ("Willow Cove") 64GB DDR4-3200 ECC NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB Storage: 512GB system drive (Micron 2300) 4TB additional storage (Sabrent Rocket Q4) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 15.6" 3940×2160 display Intel Wi-Fi AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth) 95Wh battery IR webcam Fingerprint reader Previous Dell Precision 7530, 7510, M4800, M6700 Dell Latitude E6520 Dell Inspiron 1720, 5150 Dell Latitude CPi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6730b Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Some fun testing SharpKeys, it works! Now got PgUp & PgDn working 👍. And made caps lock open calculator. Once getting to know the app, seems there is much useful to be done. Thanks for the tip. 1 Dell Precision 5540 w10 ltsc 1809, Latitude E7440 w8.1. & a pile of other stuff.
