hello -sorry about the delay- well.. I made it. using a mixture of all your answers I get it the way I want it. first thing I did was replace MOD1 to MOD4, so ALT key now is free to use. for the F* keys.. I had to disable its by commenting its lines but the few ones I already told.
now ION is as usable as I need.. thanks to all of you, people! regards.
