FN key to program X keys I have a problem. I have a MacBook Pro and a Xkeys 80. Xkeys basically records shortcut keys like a macro. But it is not sensing the push of the FN key. I use a program called controller mate to program the Xkeys and they are of no real help on the issue. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas how to go about putting the FN key on a different key or the unicode so that I can get the Xkeys to grab it as a key press. I know this sounds weird and I understand in my head what I am saying just not how to describe it. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
It probably won't help, but you could try using a private.xml like this with KeyRemap4MacBook:

&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;root&gt;
  &lt;item&gt;
    &lt;name&gt;test&lt;/name&gt;
    &lt;identifier&gt;test&lt;/identifier&gt;
    &lt;autogen&gt;__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::F1, KeyCode::FN&lt;/autogen&gt;
  &lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/root&gt;
