How to invert wedge keyboard function keys

Anonymous

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?

    I found a solution, write my own script for AutoHotkey. But you could write a driver for this keyboard or your programmers are not capable of?
