Dell Venue 11 Pro Keyboard Fix
The Venue 11 Pro is a pretty decent tablet with one huge flaw: the function keys are mapped backwards - if you want F2, you have to hold FN+F2. Just pressing F2 will activate Volume Down. Many users might want this, but there are plenty who like to actually use the function keys.
So, here's a solution that remaps the keys backwards so the function keys work like function keys. If you want the alternate function, hold FN along with the function key. There's one limitation - it does not work on the F11 and F12 keys. It works with F1-F10 though.
It's just a simple AutoHotKey script. There's a binary download as well.
