Shortcuts in Quark

[anitaoskar]

I am using QuarkXPress 4.11 on Mac OS 9.2
... and all of a sudden I lost function key shortcuts in Quark - like F7 for Show/Hide Guides and F5 for Bring to Front and ect.

Anyone know how to get them again? Appreciate any help!

Thanks )

What happens when you try it now?

Did Quark lose focus and you were in the Finder?

When I'm in Quark and press for exsample F7 for guides, a warning window comes up saying that Function Keys can be set up in a Keyboard Control Panel which is a set-up for shortcut function keys in Finder... that is not what I need.

this is because your Quark Function Keys are clashing withe the already assigned function keys for windows

Did you go to the Keyboard Control Panel and disable the OS function keys? That may allow Quark to do its thing.

jimoblak is right - it WILL sort your problem - go to the Apple at the top left of the screen, then select the Control Panels, then the Keyboard - should be fairly obvious after that...

Quark is 'secondary' to the operating system in the case of the function keys
