Hello,

I am using a 17inch Powerbook, and I want to play diablo 2, but the problem is, with Powerbooks, the F keys are function keys... Where do I go in OS X to switch them around? so that if I hit F1, it's F1 that I'm hitting, not the dim function? It's hard to play the game if I have to hold fn key each time I want to use the F keys....

Please help,

Thanks,

Ming

There's no option within the game preferences to change keyboard commands/layout?

From what I've gathered, there is no way to do this. Looks like Ucontrol is the closest thing that can remap the function keys to their "real function mode". However, apparently having done that you lose access to the volume, brightness, etc.

I wanted to do the same as you for the fact that it makes Expose in Panther more quicker., ie. F9 and F10

They should really add the feature so we can change it when ever we want... I thought Panther was going to have this feature too, until I can't find it in Panther.
