Eh, do you mean, how do you use the arrow keys on the numpad? You can toggle between numbers and arrows/nav commands with the Num Lock key

And to get F11 and F12 you have to program a makro with the Soarer's converter software.
I put F11 and F12 onto F1 and F2 in combination with <ALT> or <CTRL>.

This is a config file, that "corrects" the 2 ISO-specific keys, maps AltGr to the CapsLock key and assigns F11 and F12 to <CTRL> + <F1> and <CTRL> + <F2>:
Code: Select all
# Soarer Converter's configuration for an IBM Model F XT keyboard.
remapblock
# <>
BACKSLASH EUROPE_2
# #'
BACK_QUOTE BACKSLASH
# AltGr.
CAPS_LOCK RALT
endblock
macroblock
macro F1 CTRL
PUSH_META CLEAR_META CTRL
DELAY 5
PRESS F11
POP_ALL_META
endmacro
macro F2 CTRL
PUSH_META CLEAR_META CTRL
DELAY 5
PRESS F12
POP_ALL_META
endmacro
endblock
