Default Simple: Caps Lock = F11 - 11-13-2008, 12:37 PM

Posted in error in the general forum, its better put here.

I was missing the F11 key for full screen web browsing.
Here's a simple registry update I did that changed my mini's Caps Lock key into an F11 key .
I just saved the text below as F11.reg, then right clicked on the file and selected merge, and restarted.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,57,00 ,3A,00,00,00,00,00

For those that want to understand the update.

3A refers to the scan code for the Caps Lock key
57 refers to the scan code for the F11 key.

You can undo the change by going into the registry and deleting the entry,
or changing 57 to 3A in the code given and merging / restarting again.
