During setting this new system up, I realized that the +ProPresenter action hotkeys didn't work (eg: Clear all is F1, Clear foreground +is F2, Clear backgrounds is F3, etc). I don't know about you, but having +hotkeys is a pretty priceless piece of efficient computing, especially if +you're running media in a fast-paced presentation environment. After a little +research, I discovered that Apple, in their infinite wisdom (because that's not +an inflammatory statement), in fact disabled the OS functionality for the +function keys and by default they control hardware functionality (eg: F1 and F2 +control brightness, F3 does nothing, F4 does nothing, F5 does nothing, F6 does +nothing...getting the idea?). Here's how you fix it. + +Head on over to the __System Preferences__. In there, select __Keyboard__. +There are two tabs in there (Keyboard and Keyboard shortcuts). If _Keyboard_ +isn't selected, select it. On that page you should see a checkbox labeled +"__Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as as standard function keys__". Check that box +and all of your ProPresenter action hotkeys should work now (Yay!). + +If anyone wants to look up my source for this, I found the solution in the +Apple knowledge base http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3399[here]. + + +Category:ProPresenter + +Category:Apple + + +// vim: set syntax=asciidoc: |
