    Hello everyone, I have an Alienware m11x and I had a question. To turn up the volume, I press the Fn key and then F9, it would be nice if instead I could just press F9, is there a way to do this? And also is it possible to reassign the fn+functions keys to something new, fn+f4 turns down brightness but id like to make it fn+down arrow key...
    Thanks guys

    Unless that F9 (example) key has no meaning on some other apps, you might have more issues coming than convenience.

    cheers ...
