I think assigning Fn in AHK will be difficult. Still,try this:
• Execute the following AHK script.

Code: Select all

#persistent
#InstallKeybdHook
• Try NOT to press any more keyboard keys from this point.
• Double-click that script's tray icon to open its main window.
• Press the SPACEBAR. Press the fn key. Press SPACEBAR again.
• Select the menu item "View->Key history..."
• At the end of the visible text, you'll find the keydown and keyup records of Space, fnkey, Space IF your key was detected (else just two space keys are listed). Like this:

Code: Select all

20  039	 	d	5.69	Space          	
20  039	 	u	0.16	Space          	
xx  xxx	 	d	0.34	FnKey              	
xx  xxx	 	u	0.16	FnKey              	
20  039	 	d	0.27	Space          	
20  039	 	u	0.13	Space 
• If your key was detected, make a note of the 3-digit hexadecimal value in the second column of the list (e.g. 159).
• To define this key as a hotkey, follow this example:

Code: Select all

~SCxxx & Left:: ; Replace xxx with your key's value.
send {Home}
return
~SCxxx & Right:: ; Replace xxx with your key's value.
send {End}
return

Hmm, then the Fn key wasn't detected. There may be other ways, but I know none of them, wait for other AHK gurus. Or you can pay a visit to the AHK forum...
EDIT: curious: if you press FN+Left key, does that generate a different code than just pressing Left key?
