    [dev1135] Fixed keys remain?

    This is what the update notes say:
    Fixed Key
    Players will be able to map functions to previously fixed keys.
    * The following keys will remain fixed.

    * 0 -9
    * /
    * ScrollLock
    * PrintScreen
    * Pause
    Why are these keys still fixed? Let me guess: the game is coded in such a way that messing with these would somehow break the game completely? I cannot fathom why else they would leave these fixed especially considering how being able to change the action bar buttons is pretty much why we've been asking for changes like this.

    doesnt overly bother me except the scroll lock/print screen print screens the game since I cannot do that on my keyboard, since the scroll lock is under the function key and the print screen button isn't.

    Just a side note... unless you really want the squareenix copyright info on your pictures you can just hit print screen then open up mspaint and paste then save to get screenshots from the game.

    ya i can, but I like removing all the panes and names when I hit print screen, the logo I can deal with being there, but the entire UI is in the way

    If you reboot your Computer and press f10 you will enter Bios commands and you can reverse your FN key.

    or

    You can Hold FN press and hold Scroll Lock release FN and press Print screen. Thats how i did it until i figure out how to invert my FN key.

    There is a program that you can use to change the key bindings permanently (in and out of ffxiv) if print screen, slash and pause are that important for you to change.

    Yes but that'd mess with everything else you may want to do on the side while logged in.

    Yes, Mr. Sherlock. So much is obvious. I'm asking why they need to be fixed.
