unable to record hotkeys

06-20-2021, 03:59 PM

Hi, I'm running nt8 on bootcamp windows 10 and I'm using a mac keyboard. In attempting to record a hotkey for a drawing tool, I'm unable to record function (F) keys (no response) nor am I able to use shift + combos (error message is that I can't just use shift even though i am attempting to record shift + another key) Any help appreciated.

Hello trader3000a,

I suspect it is related to Bootcamp. Recording hot keys works without issue when testing it on my Windows PC. If you perform the instructions at the publicly available link below, are you able to record hot keys successful?

Use function keys on a Mac keyboard in Windows with Boot Camp

In Windows on an Intel-based Mac, pressing function keys on a Mac laptop computer and other Apple keyboards controls hardware features.
