    Hi all,

    I just got a Dell bluetooth keyboard and there's one small thing that I'd like to do with it that I can't. If it's impossible it's not a big deal but if not I'd like to be able to do it. On my gateway, the Fn+F4 key combination switches screens between laptop monitor only/TV only/both. However, the new keyboard doesn't seem to have an Fn key. Is there any way I could assign a new key sequence, for example Ctrl+F4, to do the same thing?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Or if you want to rewrite a device driver.
