You are locked in here with me(dia) – function keys always on. How to deactivate?

ByStefan

Pressing F5 does not refresh your view anymore but rewinds the current media?
F11 does not run the selected JUnit test in Eclipse any more but activates Caps Lock?

I have a Logitech K850 keyboard and I unintentionally turned on the function key lock (didn’t even know such a thing existed).

Try the following:

[Fn] + [Esc]

or

[Fn] + [CapsLock]

found here

That solved the constantly activated function keys and stopped my swearing. This should also work on other OS and keyboard manufacturers.

As I really prefer Python for my little projects over C++, I flashed my Wemos boards with Micropython and wanted to share how I did it (it was pretty easy).

After expermienting alot with my MQTT server it was pretty polluted with sustained messages and I wanted to get rid of them.
