10.4: Make the Dictionary safer and easier to use
Authored by: sap.1 on Nov 09, '05 09:35:03AM

On PowerBooks and iBooks, some of the function keys on the built-in keyboards double as keys that control hardware functions, like screen brightness, sound volume, etc. You can choose whether the hardware controls or the software functions are default. Just go to the Keyboard & Mouse preference, select the Keyboard tab, and check the box "Use F1-F12 keys to control software features". With this box checked, the default behavior of the function keys will be whatever you program them to do (i.e. Expose, Dashboard, Dictionary, etc.). To control hardware functions like screen brightness, you will have to press the Fn key along with the function key.
