Action to toggle function key (Fn1... Fn12) action between the printed actions on the keys and standard F keys.
Level 1: Just toggle all keys between these two functions. (at least this ! so will be possible to assign a shortkey to this toggle)
Level 2: Do this automatically, per app
In MacOS Sonoma this toggle is buried in: System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Functions keys
I use the tool for this and it works perfectly:
But perhaps there is also an ON-Board function for this in BTT.
PS: It is an Intel / Silicon binary
Thanks, it works, however there are many apps for many of the BTT functions, why not to do this also via BTT? shouldn't be that difficult.
I'm also wondering if this is possible. If I can replace 2 tools and end up with one I'm all in. I have already replaced Moom and MultiTouch, which are great BTW, with BTT but there are still some functionalities I would like to get with BTT. This one is one of them, so I could ditch Fluor, which only works properly with Apple Keyboards. The other one it's on another topic here, I would also like to replace Auto-Raise.
Oh, and also awesome would be for any keystroke tool to be able to show BTT configured shortcuts.
I have actually just created a new predefined action "Set/Change Function Key Mode". It will be included with the next version of BTT.
Currently you could already achieve it but it would require quite a bit of setup.
What to say! a Big Thank you!
I think I can wait but, it would also be awesome to know how to build this up!
Wow, thanks !!!
Sorry but it doesn't not work on me. I have updated btt to 4.616 and sonoma 14.3.
i got set up in 'For All Apps' and 'Keyboard Shortcuts', and I just selected shortcut and 'Set Function Key Mode/Medea Mode', and left the rest untouched. but It didn't work.
Do I need to something to use this function? or it given to only paid user?(i have licence but outdated)
If not, am I misunderstanding this feature? I understand this to be a shortcut for setting the 'use f1, f2, etc keys as standard function keys' toggle option in the keyboard settings.
Mhh, your BTT needs to be active, if it is disabled due to an outdated license it will not work. However if your BTT is enabled, this should work fine.
Using a trial version, but not all features are available for the remainder of my trial?
yes i did.and did same shortcut. i want to show screenshot but newbie can't upload,.. but it still didn't work. Could this be a conflict with another program? One suspected program is karabiner.
Exit karabiner and it works haha...
Are you sure it doesn't work? (it will not update the checkbox in system settings, you need to try the keys to test)
Do other BTT actions work correctly for you when triggered via shortcut?
Yeah I don't use a lot of features, but the shortcuts I do use all work, only the function/media ones didn't. I use karabiner because of the delay issue with the language change shortcut.
Is it now possible to get functionality similar to Fluor? That is, for a certain app, have the function keys just work like "F1" etc. (without any modifier key) while having them work as media keys etc. for all others? I see the functionality you've highlighted but it seems to just toggle the function by pressing a defined hotkey, which isn't desirable.
Thanks!
yes, you can use the "specific app did activate" and "specific app did deactivate" triggers to set the function key mode:
Incredible, thank you!
