([lenovo.com](https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadx9/thinkpad-x9-aura-edition-15-inch-intel/21q6cto1wwus2?utm_source=openai))  \n- The UK Lenovo site also shows the 15\u02ba Aura Edition X9 model, but there\u2019s *no clear indication* that John Lewis stocks it.

Lenovo UK has entries for this model.

Do you want me to do that?"

        "content": "Yes \u2014 on the Lenovo ThinkPad X9-15 Aura Edition, you *can* change the function key (Fn) mode so that the function keys (F1\u2013F12) act as standard function keys by default (without having to hold down Fn).  \nHere\u2019s how it works and what your options are:\n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udfaf Available Keys & Modes\n\nFrom the official **ThinkPad X9-15 Aura Edition user guide**:\n\n- There are two modes for the F1\u2013F12 row:  \n  1. **Special functions (hotkeys)**: volume, brightness, etc.  \n  2. **Standard functions (F1\u2013F12)**. ([download.lenovo.com](https://download.lenovo.com/manual/thinkpad_x9_15/user_guide/en/Use_the_keyboard_shortcuts.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n- The **FnLock** toggle (via `Fn + Esc`) lets you switch between these two modes.  \n  - When the **LED on the Esc key is off**, the hotkeys (special functions) are the default. ([download.lenovo.com](https://download.lenovo.com/manual/thinkpad_x9_15/user_guide/en/Use_the_keyboard_shortcuts.html?utm_source=openai))  \n  - When the **LED is on**, the standard F1\u2013F12 functions become the default. ([download.lenovo.com](https://download.lenovo.com/manual/thinkpad_x9_15/user_guide/en/Use_the_keyboard_shortcuts.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2699\ufe0f How to Change Function Key Behavior\n\nYou have a few ways to set your preferred mode:\n\n1. **Toggle with keyboard shortcut**  \n   Press `Fn + Esc` to switch between modes. The LED on the Esc key indicates which mode is active. ([support.lenovo.com](https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht518445?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Use Lenovo Vantage app**  \n   - Open **Lenovo Vantage** \u2192 *Device settings* or *Input & Accessories*.  \n   - Look for a setting related to **Hotkey Mode** or **Fn key behavior**.  \n   - You can set whether you'd rather have special functions by default or standard F1\u2013F12 keys. ([support.lenovo.com](https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht518445?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Through BIOS/UEFI settings** (more permanent)  \n   Some Lenovo ThinkPad models allow changing the Fn key mode via BIOS. For example:  \n   - Go to BIOS / Setup \u2192 *Config \u2192 Keyboard* \u2192 \u201cHotkey Mode\u201d or similar.  \n   - Set it to disable the hotkeys-as-default (so that F1\u2013F12 are standard by default). ([fixieit.com](https://www.fixieit.com/lenovo-laptop-fn-key-confusion-why-it-happens-and-how-to-fix-it-easily/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can guide you step-by-step with screenshots or instructions tailored to your X9-15 model \u2014 makes setup easier."

        "content": "Yes \u2014 on many Lenovo ThinkPad models, there *is* a \u201cSticky Fn\u201d (or \u201cFn Sticky\u201d) mode in addition to the usual Fn Lock / Hotkey modes. This mode can really help someone who can only use one hand, because it allows the Fn key to act as if it\u2019s held down (or \u201clatched\u201d) so that you don\u2019t have to physically keep holding it while pressing another key.  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What \u201cSticky Fn\u201d / \u201cFn Sticky\u201d Means\n\n- It\u2019s like Windows **Sticky Keys**, but for the Fn key \u2014 once it\u2019s activated, your next function key press will act together with Fn (as if you're holding Fn down), without needing to literally hold that key.  \n- It\u2019s useful for accessibility: one-hand users, limited mobility, etc.  \n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Which ThinkPad Models Support It\n\n- Models such as the **ThinkPad T560** and **P50s** offer this feature. It\u2019s documented in their user guides. ([bhphotovideo.com](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/320152.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Other models list a **\u201cFn Sticky Key\u201d** option in the BIOS/UEFI under the Keyboard or Keyboard/Mouse settings. ([fcc.report](https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/PU5-TP00079A/2888453.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \u2699\ufe0f How to Enable Sticky Fn\n\nIf your ThinkPad X9-15 Aura Edition supports this mode, here's what to try:\n\n1. **Enter BIOS/UEFI Setup**  \n   Reboot your laptop, then hit the setup key (usually `F1` or similar) during startup.\n\n2. **Go to Keyboard or Keyboard/Mouse Settings**  \n   Look for an option labeled **\u201cFn Sticky Key\u201d** or similar. ([blog.janjan.net](https://blog.janjan.net/2020/01/07/thinkpad-bios-fn-sticky-key/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n3. **Enable the Sticky Fn Option**  \n   Once enabled, pressing Fn will latch it temporarily (for the next key press). To disengage, press Fn again. ([blog.janjan.net](https://blog.janjan.net/2020/01/07/thinkpad-bios-fn-sticky-key/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n4. **Save and Exit BIOS**  \n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Some Notes & Limitations\n\n- It might not be available on *all* ThinkPad models \u2014 newer ones sometimes omit this option. Always check your specific model\u2019s manual or BIOS.  \n- If not included in BIOS, sometimes Lenovo Vantage or other software utilities won\u2019t offer it either.  \n- This *Sticky Fn* is different from **Fn Lock**. Fn Lock changes the default behavior of F1\u2013F12 keys (hotkeys vs. standard functions) permanently or until toggled, whereas Sticky Fn makes Fn momentarily active without having to physically hold it.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can check whether the **ThinkPad X9-15 Aura Edition** explicitly has this *Sticky Fn* option in its BIOS or manual. Would you prefer I verify that for you?"
