on laptops they have fn + f(1-10) to turn on wirless increace britness etc

i want a script that can uterlise this function eg turn wirless on fn+f8 i cant find syntax for the fn button i was looking ad vbs sendkeys method

This would be used on remote computers (i know how to turn my wirless on and dont have to call support 10 times a week) so id prefere not to use a third party app that requires instilation.

As far as I am aware, those functions are hardware based only. The only exception would be any keys that you can open programs with, like the email button if you happen to have those.

these might be helpful for seeing if the key even sends anything to the OS:

also came across this:

it can remap anything but Fn but it can map to some existing Fn+__ keys provided that the Fn+__ combo presses a standard key (Fn+Numlock=Scrolllock)
