  • @nixda I've seen that but it does not provide the actual scan codes to use (as best I can tell)

  • Mind that in my Windows 7 64 bit Pro, [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] is empty, no Scancode key there.

    BTW, FYI: on very few keyboards (other than Apple's) does the Fn/function key produce any scancode. Instead, when it is pressed in combination with certain other keys a certain, unique scancode is sent as if that other key was pressed alone instead of two keys. the pause key is the one key whose scancode can not be changed in the windows registry.

  • Re "Function": the Fn key or function keys F1-12?
