PS CS2.

I now have my friend here with his tower, containing PS CS2 (WXP PRO SP2). He wants to customize a few keyboard shortcuts. I am trying to help him. I find Menu>Edit>KeyboardShortcuts fine. I quickly did a save in order to make a new file instead of wrecking the default fine. I selected ‘Application Menu’ and double-clicked on ‘file’. I left-clicked on ‘browse’ (which he wanted to change), and ‘Alt+Ctrl+O’ was highlighted and in fact underlined. He wants ‘F1’ to be usable for browsing, so I pressed the F1 key fully expecting the default key-sequence to be replaced by F1. Nothing happened.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Jethro

not sure this is right but:

by default Win OS uses all the F keys for it’s own assignments (help etc) download the driver for the keyboard brand
in that interface should be a function/option to disable while using PS, then the PS assignments can take over
Logitech has this
not sure about others
do not think default win xp drivers show this option
