On my keyboard I think F11 is keycode 95 and F12 is 96, but the main 
problem is when I do
sysctl -p
I get an error:

error: "dev.mac_hid.mouse_button_emulation" is an unknown key
error: "dev.mac_hid.mouse_button2_keycode" is an unknown key
error: "dev.mac_hid.mouse_button3_keycode" is an unknown key

I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.
