There are two things you have to do for all the function keys to work properly with Fusion:
1) Set the function keys to software so that the hardware functions work by pressing function keys with FN, and 2) Change your Expose so that the F9 through F12 are either disabled or remapped. I have mine set for option+cmd+F9 through option+cmd+F12, so that just function keys alone pass normally. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Dec 17, 2009, at 2:51 PM, Brian Moore wrote: > anyone noticedthat alt+f4 no longer works with fusion 3 and sl.
