I remember somebody posting here are about using the F3, F4, and F5 keys as shortcuts for System Preferences, and I think it's been expanded in 10.1.5. I used to get the system beep showing sound levels *and* System Prefs. Now, option plus F3, F4, or F5 takes you directly to the Sound PrefPane (with no System Beep, and on PowerBook keyboards, without the Fn key), and option plus F1 or F2 brings you to the Displays PrefPane.

MS must override that themselves. Key events not captured by an application fall through to the system.

I have a G4 400 sawtooth w/Apple USB Keyboard. Most keyboard hints don't work. No keys to the left of the control key. (function key? missing) F12 does do the Eject tho.
LOL
Of course this is only for laptops. Laptops have brightness and volume icons on F1 & F2 and F3, F4 and F5 respectively. |
