When I press fn+Function key, most keys are used as standard function keys. However, F1 and F2 still turn the brightness up and down instead of being normal function keys, even with fn being pressed. How can this be fixed? I'd still like my brightness keys to change the brightness, but only when fn is not pressed.

  • Does the exact opposite happen if you flip the prefs in System Prefs>Keyboard>Keyboard ? Also, check settings in Keyboard>Shortcuts>Display to make sure they're not also using the plain F-Keys.

  • I'm not using the plain F-Keys. I've tried to flip the prefs, and it still happens for the brightness keys, whether I hold down fn or not

    That was the problem! Shortcuts had F1 and F2 mapped to brightness up and down.

Make sure the commands aren't duplicated in Shortcuts
System Prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Display
