Switch between the hot key and the standard F1-F12 function for ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint (4X30K12182).

Why

ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint do not support "Fn Lock" (at last 4X30K12182). So users cannot use standard F1-F12 function without pressing Fn. This project fix this.

How to use

Place ThinkPadBluetoothKeyboardHotkeySwitch.exe to windows startup folder. This will switch F1-F12 functions to default, to use special functions press Fn+[F1-F12].

Change which apps run automatically at startup in Windows 10
