Guild Wars 2

I play a ranger, so I use the F1 – F4 keys often. Is there any way of making it so the keys turn on automatically when the game starts? Currently I have to either manually click the icons or use a different short cut key.

You can change it in the mac system prefs under keyboard.

You can retain at least partial functionality of your media keys and only change the behavior of some f-keys with an app like FunctionFlip.
With that app, you can define that only the special functions of f1 to f4 are disabled, which leaves your media and volume controls intact.

You can also still use your media and volume function keys even with them all turned off by holding down the fn key located above the delete key (full size keyboards have this key I don’t know if “mini” or laptop keyboards have it.)

I tried to download and start it, the FunctionFlip. Its by an unidentified developer so i can’t open it. THANKS APPLE, kittenmit!. some bullkitten

Go to system preferences, then to security and privacy section, and in the allow applications to download from part just temporarily check from anywhere and then download and install the app. After, just recheck from Mac App Store and trusted developers.

i forget things like this all the time. I don’t know if i knew about this security detail or not, but thank you for the info. I feel so noob now lol. But this background app is awesome!! its going to make the game and listening to my music even MORE enjoyable! SCORE

The easier way to give an untrusted app permissions to run is to right click it and Open.
