10.5: Switch Spaces using fn keys with Quicksilver
I sort of solved my own problem, well, found a different way of achieving the same result, and am posting for anyone else who may be trying to solve this problem. I manually edited ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist to change the Spaces hotkeys to be the function keys with no modifier.
Some info on how to do this was taken from: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/remap_function_keys.html The relevant numbers in the plist file for my 8 spaces (on my machine at least) were 118-125. There are three parameters: 65535 (not sure what this means), hotkey#, modifier. The modifiers are (taken from the site above, I only checked a few of them): None - 0 (what I used) Command - 1048576 Shift - 131072 Control - 262144 Option - 524288 The key numbers to use the function keys are possibly different for different keyboards? mine were: F1 - 122 F2 - 120 F3 - 99 F4 - 118 F5 - 96 F6 - 97 F7 - 98 F8 - 100 Once I hacked this file, I logged out and in again before the shortcuts would work. It seems to be working fine, and I don't seem to have broken anything else! Now to get rid of those annoying sliding transitions... |
