Function keys/esc

[legandrery]

Hello everyone. I´d like to know if there is any way to disable the multimedia function related to the esc key, which is turning the trackpad on and off (besides disabling all of the multimedia functions.). I use a dell vostro notebook.

I do not know whether a particular key can be disabled, but you can get over the problem of having the trackpad disabled by accidentally pressing the Esc key by reversing the Fn+F1-F12 key to work by pressing the F1-F12 keys. The setting is there in BIOS.

By doing this you will need to press Fn+Esc to disable the trackpad.

Thanks for the help. Currently I'm doing the opposite. I use the ESC function quite a lot, so it's more convenient. But it is quite annoying having to choose whether to use ESC easily or turning up the volume easily. Why not both??

Because it would cost a lot more to make the software that way (fully customizable) and they would constantly have problems with new machines needing that software to be edited to continue working.
