F1 etc., keyboard commands on 10?

[HurleyGirlie]

On classic (9.0 and up i believe) you could use F8 to F12 to open an application or something. for example, i would press F9 and itunes would pop up. is it possible to do that in 10.1 and above? its driving me crazzy just using the mouse all the time.

No, and I missed it a lot...till I tried Keyboard Maestro

It was F1 to F15 to be exact...interresting that we both put iTunes to F9

yep Keyboard Maestro is great.

I have apple scripts controlling itunes. previous track, play/pause, next track

tell application "iTunes"
playpause
end tell

iTunes now stays hidden from view.

btw - Keyboard Maestro lite is free (and it doesn't expire!)
