I'm running mine craft on a desktop and don't have a function key, yet my f3 key is a special key, so it doesn't work in mine craft properly.

  • I know you can remap other keybinds in the game but Ive never tried to remap the F keys, so not sure if its possible for those. For my laptop, it had special keys mapped to the F keys and I had to go into the BIOS and turn off that feature so that by default the F keys did F key stuff and not the special stuff they were made for. But like you said, your keyboard doesnt have a function key so this might not be an option.

  • is a special key - what do you mean? Like on a basic laptop only you don't have a function key (fn)? If it is a special key, then what is the special key?

  • @PausePause i have a really old mechanical keyboard with special f-key bindings, but it lacks a fn key, so it cant be solved that way. When i press any of the f-keys i just crouch for a millisecond and am unable to reassign any of my f-keys ingame

I'd recommend using AutoHotkey's key spy to figure out which key combination the "F3" key is actually issuing, and then running a AutoHotkey script to intercept that key and convert it to an actual F3 keypress.
