MacOs: function keys on external keyboard?
Answered
OPTION+F7 does "find usages" for example.
When I work with my MacBook built-in keyboard, it works for me by pressing the FN+option+shift+7 key.
Not exactly ideal, but works.
I would expect, that when using the external Apple Magic keyboard, I only need to press option+F7 keys.
But that doesn't work. Instead, I have to press the FN+option+F7 keys. Which is a real pain (because the FN key sits to the right of the backspace, so FN + any function key is hard to type).
So: is there a way to get the F1 to F19 KEYS on the mac keyboard to actually work with IntelliJ as I would expect them?

Hi. There is an option to change function keys behaviour in Mac system settings: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204436
Yes, that solves the problem.
Almost obvious, when you think about it ;-)
Thanks for the quick response!
