Function Keys - greentriumph - 06-28-2015
I am using a Mac Yosomite. The f1 function works to pop up help. The other function keys do not work.
Am I missing something ? or doing something wrong ?
RE: Function Keys - AlwMVMO - 06-28-2015
Have you used any applications that might have reassigned the Function keys?
The functionality of the FN keys in Mac OS X, the setting is under System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys checkbox.
F3 thru F11 can be chosen from the TABS
F12 can be accessed in the VIEW menu
F1 - Help
F2 - Offset
F3 - Select
F4 - Edit
F5 - View
F6 - Point
F7 - Line
F8 - Circle
F9 - Shapes
F10 - Text
F11 - Dimension
F12 - Extended Keyboard
The entire list of shortcut keys is in the User Guide / Getting Started / Keyboard at the bottom of that section.

Here is a list of all keyboard shortcuts for Deltacad.
(I cannot help you beyond this, being a PC user)

I guess Midnight Software works on Sundays.
I sent your message to them this morning.
Here is their reply.
F1 and F2 are the only function keys that do anything on the Mac version of DeltaCad.

Can macros be written to solve this problem..I have limited programing experience in "BASIC ".
But I am willing to do what ever is necessary to eliminated mouse movement.
Thanks to all for the speedy response.

See if you can use the keyboard to access the top pull down menus
When you press and hold the ALT key one of the characters in each Menu will be underlined.
Most of the time it will be the first character but sometimes it will be a different character.
example:
ALT-D will pull down the Draw menu
then ALT-L will pull down the Line menu
then ALT-L will select the Line option.
example:
ALT-E will pull down the Edit menu
then ALT-E will select the Edit option
then ALT-D will select the Edit Object function < - - - note character d is underlined
Then see if you can assign these keystrokes to the function keys.
Google "How to Assign Shortcut Keys on a Mac" for help.
p.s. Macros won't help you here.

AlwMVMO posted the F key shortcuts awhile back, and I would like to use them. He sketched out how to enter them on a Mac, but I can't make it work for anything but F1 and F2. Could anyone please walk me through the setup process? I'm using El Capitan, version 10.11.5.
Thanks,
mapleleaf
