    How to control SOME of the f-keys?


    I have a Dell XPS 13 2in1 laptop with Windows 10, which seems to have two settings for the f-keys that are switchable via fn and esc. The trouble is I can either get my choice for keys f1 to f9 and unwanted functions for f10 to f12 or vice-versa. This is frustrating.


    How can I get f2, for example to edit a filename but at the SAME TIME, make f11 the home key and f12 the end key without toggling all the keys via fn esc? In other words, just as my desktop computer works.

    :)
