Change brightness from the keyboard

F14 F15

If you're used to the quick access to brightness adjustment on your Apple laptop you may be missing the same shortcut on your sexy white Apple keyboard that comes with desktop machines. Fear not. You can get the same functionality with F14 and F15 function keys.

If you want to get to the Displays or sound pref pane quickly then press option and F14 or F15, or the sound controls.

btw Ivan what kind of keyboard is that? Mine only goes to F15...

Non-Apple keyboard users (those missing the eject key): use F12 to open/close your optical drive.
