Some f-keys don't work as function keys [FIXED]

Post by buzy » Sat Apr 01, 2023 6:11 pm

System setting for using f-keys as normal function keys is disabled so it doesn't interfere with Nimble Commander setting. For example f8 and f3 work as function keys as intended but others like f6 and f5 don't. I'm using a Macbook Pro 16 inch with M2 Max running macOS Ventura 13.3 and a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Any ideas?

These new laptops have different keycodes assigned for these keys, specifically F4-F6.
I've fixed the mapping in the latest preview build, you could try it:

Great! I'll be using Fluor for f-keys until next update comes out and after the update I'll use the Nimble Commander setting again. Thanks, mike!
