    Hi,

    On my 1810TZ I have to use 2 hands to change brightness as FN is on opposite side of the keyboard.

    If the right hand CTRL can be used as FN this would be a much better 1 hand action.

    Is this possible.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    perhaps you can do something with Autohotkey.

    Not possible unless Acer updates the keyboard driver or add the option in BIOS like some Lenovo laptops have done.

    I can confirm that.

    My upgrade to a HD 3650 in my 9920G has left me with no keyboard commands to change brightness unless somebody knows different ......

    Other function commands work OK.

    Have you checked if there is a newer version of Launch Manager?
