Thanks for reply
1. i almost read all similar thread and most of them have a solution which is enter BIOS configuration and disable hotkey action / enable... and also SharpKeys/SoftKeys cant really remap all the key.
2. on Lenovo Support site ,there are no Windows 8 Driver and Software for G400s

i really wish they provide a bios update and also update the Windows 8 driver and software for G400s
:(

i think that's the best solution if Lenovo technician provide a bios update for this model

Yes, very disappointing that no hotkeys enable/disable in BIOS. It should added to all BIOS. And let user to choose whether to enable/disable it. st Very frustating.

I'm just bought a Lenovo G400s.
And the hot keys is swapped. When I wan to press F2. I need to press "Fn+F2"

For some people by default for multimedia maybe is useful, but for myself is very annoying feature.

In my older, Thinkpad Edge, there is a setting in BIOS for disabling hotkeys. But unfortunately there's no in my laptop. :(

Hope Lenovo can add it in BIOS level.
So I can keep continuing using Lenovo as my favorite laptop brand

I'm using Lenovo G400s

With Linux openSUSE 12.x

This serious feature must make known to developer.

We demand a BIOS update to this feature, not everyone should be locked to multimedia keys.

I'm doing multi-tasking and productivity programs and use lots of those function keys, I'm seriously need this to be fix ASAP or else I might considering another brand.

yeah it quite troublesome when use linux
but i guess the laptop is designed with windows 8 in mind :smileysad:

I used G405s and Suse 12.3 btw

Hope they will post BIOS update  for this

any news regarding this issue ? just bought G400s and i thought that i could use this laptop for gaming

and im having a trouble since i always keybinding my shortcuts into F1-F12...

need add custom f1-f12 feature on bios fast, im using this for gaming D:

i created an app just for disabling the fn+x keys using autoit. you can try it. but not all keys works.
