dell built in keyboard shortcut

in flag

im using dell inspiron 11 3179 and dual booting linux, but it doesnt matter the problem is the keyboard shortcut, so im playing minecraft on my linux. in minecraft the key to open debug screen is f3, but in this laptop the f3 is for volume up. in windows it doesnt effecting the game cause you need to press ctrl or fn key(mine use the ctrl) to use the f"number" shortcut. but linux has a different way to do it, cause you only need to press the f3 only and the volume is rising. at first i think this is cool, but when i played minecraft i cant use the button cause it used to rise the volume, and i dont know how to fix this pls someone who knows something, can you help me?. sorry for my english, thanks

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

You need FN+F3 obviously. And I seriously doubt it's different in Windows as this new fad of inverting the main and secondary functions of the functions keys is set in the firmware (UEFI) and often but not always it can be toggled off, again, in UEFI, it's unrelated with the OSes.

You are using a laptop. Your laptop is configured to access the function keys when pressing the Fn key. Thus, hit Fn+F3 to issue an F3 keypress instead of increasing the volume.

You can change this behavior in your computer BIOS. See the manual of your model to learn how to boot into BIOS. After the change, you will need to hit Fn+F3 to change the volume.

On some laptops, notably also Dell, that behavior can be switched by hitting Fn+Esc. The change is in effect for the current session only, and will be reset to the BIOS default on next boot.

That is not about Ubuntu but about your specific hardware. There probably will be a setting to change the default behaviour. Otherwise, you can just remember to use Fn+Esc before starting the game.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
