I'm a newbie to Yojimbo, really just getting started to learn how
it works today. But, just like some previous posters have noted, F8,
doesn't work properly. I'm running a 20" iMac with the aluminum
keyboard and just before playing around with Yojimbo, downloaded the
latest set of patches from Apple, which included an aluminum
keyboard firmware update (Mac OS X 10.5.2 (9C7010)). Could that be
the problem, or are there others who've had this problem and
resolved it?
On the aluminum keyboard, the function keys are overloaded with two
purposes.
1) Media Keys - the do what their icon says
2) Function Keys - they act as their function key counterparts
(This is similar to how they work on portable computers.)
In the Keyboard & Mouse Preferences pane, there is a setting "Use All
F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys".
When this is turned on, pressing F8 will act as F8. When this is off,
it acts as its media key.
Holding down the "fn" key temporarily reverses the sense of the setting.
(In addition, you can change the hotkey used for the Quick Input Panel
in Yojimbo's preferences if that suits your needs better.)
