In Response To: New Mac Keyboard (Carsten Thuesen)

: Looks aren't everything ... Apple have moved a lot of OS functions unto the
: f1-f12 keys. These keyboards cannot be turned off !!! This means that if
: you use an application like LightWave 3D which relies on the f keys, you
: are well and truly stuffed!!! ( I know that you can reconfigure LW - but I
: DON'T WANT TO ). My advice - stick to your old keyboard ...
I was irritated by this when I got my MacBookPro. I don't know if its always been there, or if it is new to Leopard (after installing the new OS is when I noticed it), there is a checkbox in the "Keyboard" pane of the "Keyboard and Mouse" System Preferences that says "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."
Maybe this only shows up on MacBook Pros, but that would really surprise me.
