Laptop Issues

[nrich588]

Since I am playing on a laptop, the 'F' keys do different things than on a traditional desktop. Can you tell me how to disable F keys doing wierd shit rebind some of the keys (the one that closes the TTT menu)

Well the F1 - F4 are in esc>options>keyboard>Gamemodes
Showhelp is F1 and it goes down.

The rest I will give you: (To bind you type this in console: bind F5 command)
"F5" = "jpeg"
"F6" = "save quick"
"F7" = "abuse_report_queue"
"F8" is not bound
"F9" = "load quick"
"F10" is not bound
"F11" is not bound
"F12" = "replay_togglereplaytips"

Those are mine. Hope it helps.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the function (fn) alternate uses for the F keys being in place of the traditional F key functions--that is, the F keys are for brightness, sound, etc rather than for whatever the F keys are bound for unless "fn" is held while pressing the F key; it is toggled.  I have dealt with this issue before.  This explains the issue rather well.  If the lock keys don't work for you, try the BIOS.  I don't remember what I did to fix it, but it involved the control panel, and I can't find the article I used now.

Oh, now I feel like a derp. :( When I hear F keys I think of the F1-12. Oh well.

Right.  Typically on laptops, these keys do something different when you hold the "fn" down when pressing them--brightness down/up, volume down/up/mute, sleep, etc.  His problem seems to be that the functions are inverted, meaning the F keys are read as shortcuts to the aforementioned functions rather than F1, F2, etc keystrokes.
