Stupid Mac Pro Tools Shortcuts Question

Post by kslight » Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:25 am

I am used to having I believe F3-F7 as the various tools which combine into the smart tool, but just got a new Mac and those keys make the screen tile within Mac OS. I have attempted to disable all OS/Spotlight/etc shortcuts but I guess I missed something? Any way to fix this?[/b]

Go to System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard tab and check the box that says something like "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard Function keys."

HTH,

that sounds about right.

then if you want to use the other features....just assign them to your mouse buttons. I love the expose thing personally...and since my actual mac mouse broke it's been driving me bonkers to not have the side click on my mouse.
