Use your function keys in the apps or games that need them! FNable, the Caps Lock for the fn-Key.
On a typical Mac the function keys have a special meaning. They are used to control the volume, the screens brightness or iTunes. But some applications, games or especially Windows software that is running in VMWare Fusion or Parallels use the normal function keys. FNable allows you to easily use your function keys in the applications that you need them.
FNable runs in the background and can quickly change your special keys to function keys. The applications that use Function keys, are remembered and everytime you switch to such an application, the function keys will be available. In all other apps the special keys will be available. Of cause you can still use the special keys while your function keys are active, just hold down the FN key when clicking the function keys.
Use FNable the way you like:
Dont clutter your menu bar. While you can add FNable to your menu bar just as many other apps, you can also put FNable into your menus corners, for extra speedy access. That saves some menu bar real estate and you can find FNable in any running app, that might otherwise hide the menu bar items.
Playing a game and want to use your function keys without leaving your game? Just hold your FN key for 3 seconds and FNable will enable your function keys! Your Mac will inform you about your current settings with its integrated Voice Synthesizer!
Of cause you can also toggle your function keys by using a global hotkey. Or you put FNable into your dock and use it from there!

- perfect system-integration: use FNable from your Screen corners, your menu bar, a hotkey, or from the Dock
