Some Mac users have noticed that after updating to macOS Sonoma, or various macOS Sonoma updates, their function keys are reversed. A common example of this is that when you tap on the F1 or F2 key to adjust the display brightness, nothing happens. Or you may press F10, F11, or F12 to adjust audio levels on the Mac, and either nothing happens, or Expose activates rather than sound volume adjusting.

We’ll show you how you can reverse the function keys on macOS Sonoma, where the setting for this has been moved and buried, like many other things in System Settings.

Have had to refer to this setting a few times for clients who suddenly trigger the hot key and wonder what’s happening to their keyboard!

Yep. Been there and have done this for clients as well. This is now bookmarked for easier sending.
