F24 for life!




Yeah, see also the recent discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37004633 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37003963

One annoying thing about macOS is that it has a very limited collection of key codes. I tried using F24 for window placement but it was ignored, so I had to back off to F16.


I seem to recall being able to use an add on utility to get access to the higher scancodes - mainly to prevent some from being “the same key”.


They must not be using Excel (and certain IDEs).


thank you - I appreciate it.
