F8 through F11 reserved on OS X ... conflicts with Sigil assignments #838

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

On OS X 10.6.* the function keys F8 F9 F10 F11 all do something special 
(particularly if Spaces is enabled).  Sigil is not able to intercept those key 
presses.

For instance, pressing F8 to invoke the Meta Editor will instead display the 
four 'Spaces' windows. 
3.

For instance, pressing F11 to invoke the Code View will instead cause all the 
windows to move off the screen so that the Desktop is shown.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I recommend that the shortcuts that use F6-F12 (the Tools menu items, the View 
menu items, and the Save As .. menu item) instead use ctrl-F6, Ctrl-F7, et 
cetera.

I also recommend that "Save As ..." be switched from F12 to shift-command-S 
(that is the convention for OS X applications).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.3.4 on OS X 10.6.7

I have changed "save as" to shift-command-S and shift-control-S for all 
platforms.

Lion removes the places short cuts to F6-F10 all work as expected. I'm going to 
leave those as is since I'm on Lion and I expect most users to upgrade to Lion 
soon. F11 I've changed for OS X to command-F11.
