Nitro 5 volume and brightness keys

Is there a way to set the keys so you can change the volume and brightness by just pressing one key? The default way is to hold down the Fn key and pressing the arrow keys, which requires two hands. My previous laptop, Lenovo, had keys dedicated for these functions so I could do it with just one hand.

    Hi @Rowse

    The Function keys that just from F1 all the way through to F12. The brightness, volume, touchpad toggles are all hotkeys, which require you to press Fn to trigger it. Alternatively, you can invert the combination to use Fn + F(X) keys to trigger only media controls. To do that, you have to repeatedly tap F2 to go to BIOS settings when the computer is turning on, go to the MAIN tab, you'll see the function key option, change it media key. Alternatively, Try Fn + Esc to toggle Fn key off or on, this works on Lenovo, but unsure about Acer, never tried it and I don't use Laptops anymore after the Chip prices hit the roof, I have decided to invest money on desktops due to the WFH situations. Please let me know if that helped.
