New apple keyboard and AE?

[rook]

I just got the new apple keyboard:

http://www.apple.com/keyboard/

which is very comfortable and stylish but in their infinate wisdom apple has decided to double up keys. Now volume keys are over the f10 to f12 keys.

I usually use these keys to toggle between veiws in my comp window.

Obviously now I can't do this.

Anyone know a way I can deal with this easily? It's kind of a pain.

Thanks.

On my laptop, and I'm assuming it should be the same with the keyboard, you can go into System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse, and under the keyboard tab you can check off "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features". If you do this then you have to hold the "fn" key (assuming you hopefully have one) to turn volume up or down, etc. It's kind of annoying, but, hey, what can you do...Apple is shifting to form over function, sadly...
