Proud new owner of a Framework 12th Gen here, with Windows 11. Very happy with the device, there’s nothing to say about my experience, because it’s been entirely trouble free and everything works as expected!
Except one thing - is there a way to disable the Flight Mode toggle that is bound to F10? I’ve tried PowerToys, and it seems to be one of few keys that can’t be detected (the others that can’t be detected being the brightness toggles).
Has anybody found a way to disable this Flight Mode / Airplane Mode button please? Is there some sort of hidden BIOS option somewhere please?
No, I don’t need to use the key only for F10 by itself, and when I need to I’m fine with pressing [fn].
I’d ideally like to remap it to some other shortcut (yet to determine what I want that key to do), or disable the ‘Flight Mode/Airplane Mode’ toggle entirely if possible - I’ve found my muscle memory keeps hitting that key wrongly as my old laptop had a different function bound there!
Yes, I stumbled on the same few pages, and one or two pages with similar challenges with the Flight Mode button specifically. I was hoping it might have been me missing something with my weak Google-fu!
I have found “a solution” to the Problem.
For me, I want to have Pos1, End, Page Up and Page Down on the top right.
so I created a AutoHotKey script that re-maps the keys.
no the problem is that the F10 alternate Fn function is directly forwarded to the Bios making it impossible to easily remap. BUT its possible to remap F10
So here my dumd/genius Idea: completely inverse all F and Fn keys.
For example F1 maps to Volume Down and Volume Down Maps to F1.
Then use fn lock to inverse Fn key behaviour.
its not completely perfect as you need to use Fn to change screen brightness but it works
if you are like me and almost never use F-Keys, this might be a solution.
