Function keys without Fn button [DONE]

Post by kakysha » Sun Aug 09, 2015 9:03 pm

Is it possible to make all function keys (F1-F12) to work as function keys without Fn modifier, only in Files window? I want to leave their default behavior as media keys across all other windows, but I dont want to press Fn to make every action in Files. Would be great if it is possible. Even magic with AppleScript will be accepted, if it is possible.

Hi kakysha and welcome to forum!
The easiest way to achieve what you want is to install and configure Palua: https://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/palua/i ... l=en&mt=12.
You can set it to behave Fn keys as functional when Files window is focused.

I should say that I ended up customizing keyboard shortcuts to not use Fn keys at all (there was no Palua at that time, otherwise I'd buy that!).

And I should say I'm not pretty used to it!
F1 - Cmd+1
F3 - Cmd+3
Shift+F6 = Cmd+Shift+6
etc.
