    Hey all,
    Sorry if this has been discussed before and I just couldn't find it.
    This is the first LG laptop I've used (the 14" Gram 2-in-1 touchscreen) - and for the life of me I can't figure out how to lock the Fn keys to make the default behavior the "Special Function" (like volume, screen brightness, etc.). Every other laptop I've ever used has that behavior available somewhere in the laptop.

    It's missing in the LG Control Center that's installed. Can't find it in the BIOS. Can't find it online.
    Found a page describing a way to change it in a Linux kernel (I think) but that's a bit over my head...

    Does anybody know how to do this? I'd really appreciate some insight.
    Thanks!

    Any thoughts at all?

    This is very late as a response but I have a 16" version of this laptop, and there is an option in LG Control Center that behaves like the Fn Lock. It's under "System Settings>Hotkey mode setting". It took me a while to find it - hopefully the 14" version also has this setting for you!
