finally managed to get mir working but it does not fill the whole screen and when I assign an f key it does not work, it still operates like I'm using it out of game, ie volume controls etc, I'm useless with computers so please help, thanks

Disable your function keys in your bios.

Open your mir2config/mir2test.ini file and change windowed to fullscreen, save and reopen the client

Most laptops can disable the function keys with a keyboard short cut. Way easier that getting into the BIOS for someone who doesn't know computers.

@Danhil what laptop do you have?

There is a key, usually FN (bottom row, next to ctrl, alt keys, (FN for 'function') to switch btw media controlled from F keys and their original F key function. That FN key is usually also colored as the media icons on F keys.

There is a more devious case, not sure if only mac laptops have it - the whole right side of keyboard gets switched to work like dedicated keypad by some shortcut which I always forget.

Your horizons are expanded when you know both Mac OS and Windows.
