Worse yet, on Powerbooks, those keys don't do cut-copy-paste things but rather control the display and sound. DUmb. APple used to know how to do consistent interfaces. It was their big secret weapon. Now it's just a big secret.

Or perhaps a weapon of mass delusion.

I'm trying to use function keys for slide control and they do weird things like paste and clear stack properties. Does the IDE use function keys?


Yes, on a Mac by default the F1 to F4 keys are reserved for various copy, paste, cut operations. I can never remember which is which, so I never use them.

I have a slide show stack that I use as a script-controllable screen saver. I use the mouseMove message to detect when to turn it off, but found that this needs a delay otherwise it comes on & then immediately off. If you would like a copy of my stack to start with, just let me know off-list.
