| In OS 9, Function Keys (Fkeys) are set by default to act as "Hot Function Keys," that can be defined to start an application, or open a document or other item. You can temporarily disable Hot Function Keys by holding down the Option key (on desktop Macs) or the fn key (on portable Macs) while pressing the Function Key, but keyboard shortcuts that require the use of modifier keys are iffy. To enable the full range of shortcuts defined for F1-F12 in Flash MX, it's best to disable the Hot Function Keys feature: open the Keyboard Control Panel (Apple Menu > Control Panels > Keyboard), then press the Function Keys button. Remove the check mark from the Enable Hot Function Keys box. Click OK, then close the control panel. In PowerBooks, F1 “F6 are permanently defined as screen brightness, volume, and num lock keys, so you still have to use the fn key. If a modifier key is part of the keyboard shortcut, hold down the modifier, then press fn and the Function Key. For example, to display the Properties window, hold down the Command key, then press fn-F3. The Hot Function Keys feature is not present in OS X, button portable Macs you still have to use the fn key to make F1-F6 act like normal (Cool?) Function Keys. |
