Tell why you do this?
tell the story,
i guess by the word ASSIGN, you mean to change how they work?
from normal, stock methods and how ACER designed your PC?
no PC stated or OS
this is MM keyboard from ACER, USB keyboard
yes, they do make macro keyboards, that allow one to have custom keykeys, or even generate strings of key presses.
why not RTM on this keyboard.
did just buy the keyboard used, and not with the PC it came with?
that it?
best i can tell Acer does not sell this keyboard, all by self.
so no books for it.
if you want to use it beyond what it can do or to use advanced features off this limited keyboard. find the PC it came with.
no PC stated
no OS stated
and only vague Function key questions, to do what. what is the end goal, and unstated.
Function keys 101.
there are BIOS hot keys that work just powered on to operate
custom BIOS features,
then there is F8 for the non windows 10 PCs, that can go to safemode. before, the OS runs.
Then the OS runs after login,
then the OS uses hot keys, there.
for sure on laptops, laptops have lots of special Function keys..
even for wifi, and volume sound, and more.
this takes working drivers in the laptop to do that. custom to that PC and that PC only.
and more, lots more.... but no goals stated or even hinted.

if using XP go to my computer, right click>properties>hardware tab>device manager>look down list for keyboard, click '+' sign and highlight your keyboard and right click and select uninstall. Restart the notebook and the keyboard will be installed automatically along with the drivers and should set it back to default.

You probably need to load the Compaq utility that assigns and activates the keys. Go to http://h18000.www1.hp.com/cpq_support.html
enter the model number of your compaq computer, and search the available downloads for the utility.

I had the same problem. I just could not get the "Alt-F4" function to work in a macro.
In the Macro Editor, in the lower center, you will see the "Z" actions. I realized I wanted the "Press and hold Z" function.
To get this, use "Inserting Special..." function to insert the Alt key stroke in the macro.
Then highlight the Alt in the Editor. Right Click and select "Split."
This will put the "Press and hold Z key" and "Release Z key" icons in the Editor.
What you want is the "Press and hold" function. Delete any other references the the Alt key.
Then enter the F4 key, and there you have it.
Hope this all makes sense to you.

There is probably a function lock or "F-Lock" button. This works just like caps lock, or num lock. Turn off the Function Lock if you have one, and see if that solves your problem.
