Please include Function FN Notebook Key
I have 2 notebooks with different Keyboard layout. An eeePC 1000ha with Left CTRL - FN keys and a Lenovo r61i with FN - Left CTRL keys layout. I tried your SW in both Nb´s and the key wasn´t recongnized at all in the asus and it was missrecognized in my Lenovo. Thanks and good job!

I think generally Fn keys are handled by the laptop’s own keyboard driver itself, and don’t produce recognizable keyboard codes which can be mapped. I take it you tried using Key Capture from the Create Mapping entry in the Mappings menu on the Lenovo? What did it recognise it as, out of interest? If a keypress code is produced which is unrecognised by the software, it writes an entry in the log, but when the keypress is handled directly by the keyboard driver, it doesn’t generally bother passing the keypress on as a keyboard code or pass it on as zero – keyboards with media controls often do this, rather than using the recognised codes.

The Lenovo must be catching the keypress and not passing it on, which is why the mapping doesn't work.

Hi! I used the Key Capture and it recognized the FN key as "Wake" in my Lenovo.Then, I tried to remap it, but nothing happened. I exported as a reg file the following, because the log file wasn't relevant.
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,1D,E0,63,E0,63,E0,1D,00,00,00,00,00"
