Problem

When you use the function (fn) key on a MacBook Pro, it acts like a shift key (only works while you hold it) as opposed to a toggle. Is there anyway to change this? Preferably with a native setting, but I'd also consider 3rd party software.

Fix for: Toggle function key on a MacBook Pro

Low Risk

In System Preferences, under Keyboard & Mouse, you can opt to use the top row as standard function keys, accessing their special functions by holding fn. However, there is no built in way to toggle this with a keyboard shortcut.
