Help neeed urgently. I am new to FM7. I am writing a data entry system without using mouse click. I need to capture keyboard function keys (F1-F12) pressed by user & jump to different layout or popup new window selection. Is there any function or FM7 command to do this. Thanks.

I am not sure about Dev7 but in FP7 I pretty sure that you can only capture "modifier keys" with the built in script functions not "function keys".

There is no way for FMP to "capture" the Function keys: there usually belong to the operating system.

FMP does allow mapping the 0-9 keyboard shortcuts to run scripts (Ctrl key for WindOS, Command for MacOS).

Thanks for your help. I am writing s POS front-end systm, it is very inconvience to use mouse to click after scanning all the item. The cashier just need to press a "end" key to jump to payment screen. We did it with Delphi & VB. I am trying to port the system to FM7. Any other techniques or ways to do it in FM7 ? This is very important & priority is POS ststem.

Thanks in advance.

You cannot remap the keyboard from FMP. You need a system utility to do that. On the Mac platform, QuickKeys is the most popular, and there's also a Windows version.
