Did a search and haven't found anything relevant to cf29's. I think the 18 has the ability to re-assign hotkeys, but I'm not for certain.

I want to know how to (if it's possible) re-assign hotkeys or assign unused fn keys to other functions/programs (turn on/off wifi, launch program or bat xx, etc)?

I checked and downloaded the 3 files that came up from panasonic.ca.
1 is the driver
2 is an appendix (I installed it and have no idea what it does. nothing happens when I attempt to execute it)
and 3 is a "settings" prog (it just allows press lock of the fn key and controls sound/popup notification).

Anyone?

THX!

Yup... That's about the size of it. To my knowledge you can reprogram keys on a keyboard for various things but the hotkeys are controls by the hotkey driver. Some functions are undoubtedly BIOS related...

Yeah, after about 20 views with no reply, I figured no one knew and/or it wasn't possible (which is just about the same). Dern it.
Thanks again, TB.
