Trigger Script with F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 etc. Function Keys

[ralph.nusser]

What is the easiest way to make the keyboard function keys (F1 through F12) operational to trigger FileMaker scripts?

Until now I used a macro software from

Macro Toolworks .

Thanks for any information in advance.

You could use FileMaker custom menus.

You could use the Keyboard & Mouse settings in your System Preferences.

Another nice option that I use is iKey.

Similar programs:

Keyboard Maestro

QuicKeys

Fitch, please post an example using custom menus that triggers a custom dialog with "Hello world" by pressing the "F5" key.

I think it is not possible.

Thank you for your efforts. Sincerely Ralph

You're right Ralph, I spoke too soon. The function keys don't appear to be assignable to custom menus, at least not on a Mac.

This will be available in the next release of MooPlug, hopefully within the next week or so :-)
