How to invert wedge keyboard function keys

Question

I'm a developer and I just purchased the new Wedge Keyboard as I like the form factor and mobility of it. However, I'm finding it to be very tedious when I'm coding as a lot of shortcut keys range from F5-F12. I'm now forced to press the FN key when I want to do this.

Is there a simple way to invert the function of these keys? So pressing it by default would trigger the F* key and with FN it would bring up the windows 8 charms?

With this script, work for me!

Media_Play_Pause::F1
Volume_Mute::F2
Volume_Down::F3
Volume_Up::F4
<+#F21::F5
<!<#F21::F6
<^<#F21::F7
<#F21::F8
PrintScreen::F9
Home::F10
End::F11
PgUp::F12
F1::Media_Play_Pause
F2::Volume_Mute
F3::Volume_Down
F4::Volume_Up
F5::<+#F21
F6::<!<#F21
F7::<^<#F21
F8::<#F21
F9::PrintScreen
F10::Home
F11::End
F12::PgUp

I need to invewrt the Fn button only on the MS Wedge keyboard. Is there a way?

Does it have an F-Lock key?...   Usually it would be the key after F12.  

Unfortunately it does not have the Fn lock key (or if it does it´s very well hidden). Some simple app with Fn key inversion would be sufficient but I could not find any for Windows.

Same here, developer, don't like using two hands on the keyboard, needs a Funtion key lock!!!

Answer 4

Same here. I appreciate the special keys but not at the expense of Function keys. 

And when I have touch screen Windows machine, I would rather touch the screen instead of using special keys on keyboard, and thats what i do. (Surface Pro)

I wish Windows had Mac OS X like setting to invert them

Is there a way to do it for the motherboard GA-H77N-WIFI? It's rather hard to play certain games without readily pressable f1-f5 keys.
