Support for F keys by themselves #2

I tried the demo, but it appears that the f keys can't be set without a modifier, is this something that can be fixed or is this a limitation of osx?

Hi! This is a limitation implemented by design. Function keys keep system actions, and I thought it is a bad idea to interrupt them if you want to be presented in the Mac App Store. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks to another issue report, I looked into this problem one more time, and it turns out that custom shortcuts with clear Function keys cannot damage OS X behavior. So please pull recent changes to enable support for F keys. Sorry for inconvenience.
