You probably have to keep pressing a FONCTION key to get F8 working, this depends on each laptop keyboard layout.

You have a "fn" key probably next to your Windows Icon or ctrl button on the keyboard.

Your keyboard top row uses function buttons and multimedia.

You have to hold down the fn button, then the F8 to toggle ortho.

My problem is that I want it reversed. Without a fn lock on the escape button, it aint happenin'!

Some have it, some don't.
