Aah, order matters! I had some problems with that in recent kernels, too.
Generally, however, I prefer to set the primary function of the F[1-12]
keys to "Function keys" in the "Options" of the "Keyboard" Control Panel.
BTW, this seems to be reset whenever my OF variables are set back to defaults.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change this setting in OF directly?
