HELP yet another Pro Tools Issue...F1-F4 keys.

-silent-sam- · 26th August 2007

I got pro tools 7.3
and mac os x 10.4.10

I am doing some manual editing and I constantly have to swtich back and fourth between "Slip" mode and "Grid" Mode.

Normaly you do this with the F2 and F4 buttons..... I think? (either way none of the F1 through F4 keys work)

But whenever I hit F2 or F4 to switch modes instead switching in pro tools... The buttons take on there normal OS functions......in other words if i hit F2 instead of switching to grid mode...I change the brightness of my screen......If i hit F4 instead of changing to grid OS X brings up the dashboard.

Anyone know how to stop this?

Have a play around in here:

System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse

You're welcome.
