My laptop keyboard is not working. This means I cannot use the Fn key as I'm using an external keyboard.
Is there a list of the codes sent by the keyboard when certain keys are pressed while the Fn key is held down?
Specifically, I want to send Fn+F10. The one that enables or disables the webcam.
Laptop is P957HR. Crappy keyboard died 3 times already. AliExpress is now banned in my country, so I can't get another one cheaply.
The webcam is showing a black screen and the green light near the lens blinks momentarily whenever I try to access the camera. Just want to check if the camera is disabled.

The codes are read to the ECU so not sure if they can be remapped.

Do you know if there is a compatible keyboard from a different model? If I'm going to shell out big bucks to import one, might as well get something that won't die in 3-4 months.
I don't mind if it has monochrome or even no backlight at all.

Have you got 'control center' installed ?
Thru control center you can use 'flexikey' to map it to anything on your current keyboard.

Thanks. Should I uninstall Obsidian-PC Control Station first?

Fiddled around for a while, then looked in the manual. It says:
Keyboard Settings - Express KeyTo use Flexikeys, I have to press the keys - which I can't do because the keyboard is not working.
To configure a single key to send multiple key combinations, or to create more useful shortcut keys, use Express
Key.
1. Enable and select the keyboard under your chosen profile, click on a key to select it, and then click to select
Express Key in Action Type.
2. In the following example we want to change an existing game key configuration which uses the left shift key for
sprinting, and the W key for moving forwards, to use the left Ctrl key to combine this movement to sprint
forward.
3. Click on the chosen key for the shortcut action.
4. Click in the Tool Tips field and type to give the key combination a name e.g. “Sprint Fwds”, then click back in
the Name field (to avoid adding the recorded keys to the Tool Tips name).
5. Click Start Record and then press the key or keys (in this case we will press Left Shift and W) required (make
sure you press the key(s) required and do not click on them).
6. Click Stop Record to complete the process.

Sorry man, it was the best solution I could think of.
Bummer it didn't work.
I've never used a external keyboard with a lappy so....anytimer likes this.
Need alternate key codes for Fn key features
