alphadev Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) I have a samsung NP300v5-a4us with windows 7. To turn the touchpad on and off i have to hit "Fn" "F5". The "Fn" is specific to the samsung keyboard and is not a standard keyboard key. How would I automate this to occur at logon with autoit? Also I have tried other macro recorders but they do not seem to recognize the "Fn" key. Any help would be appreciated. Thx Edited November 25, 2011 by alphadev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralAlkex Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hi and Welcome to the forums!! The Fn-key is usually handled by the keyboard controller itself, the rest of the computer never sees it. What you want most likely wont work. Why do you want to do it anyway? Isn't the touchpad in the same state after boot as when you shut down your pc? Tell us what you want to do instead of how you are doing it and we might be able to give you an alternative solution. .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphadev Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Each time the laptop reboots it resets the touch pad to the "On" state. I want to disable the touch pad as soon as I log on because I use the laptop to type with and my thumb touches the touch pad and triggers a keystroke combination with the keys I am typing that activates a bunch of undesirable actions, as If I was holding down the shift or control key. To disable the touch pad you have to type "Fn" "F5". I want to automate the "Fn" "F5" key press at log on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniootek Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I have same problem. Once I turn on/wake up my laptop my touchpad is switching on and I have to turn it off each time. No idea how to keep it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computergroove Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 It might be an option to disable the touchpad in the bios. You may also be able to disable it in either the device manager or the registry. Get Scite to add a popup when you use a 3rd party UDF -> http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/docs/SciTE4AutoIt3/user-calltip-manager.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniootek Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have no option to "Disable" touchpad from Device Manager (my usb mouse has this option). The solution was to install ELAN driver and disable touchpad from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
