06 Caps Lock for your FN key
Now, there's FNable 1.0, the Caps Lock for your FN key.
On a typical Mac the function keys have a special meaning.
They are used to control the volume, the screen's brightness
or iTunes. But some applications, games or especially
Windows software running in VMWare Fusion or Parallels use
the normal function keys. FNable allows you to easily use
your function keys in the applications that you need them.
