Function Keys
« on: September 12, 2016, 07:58:58 pm »

I just upgraded to 22 across the board and noticed today that the function keys (last track, pause, next track) on my MacBook Air don't work.  They did with 21.  Haven't had a chance to troubleshoot much, but figured I'd post since I just noticed...  Thanks!

My media keys, F7 - F12 work correctly, though I never use them.  I just tested them to be sure.  Maybe double check your MC options on this:

Tools > Options > General > Advanced > Media Key Mode

Mine is set to "All".

Good luck.

Oh, and make sure MC21 is totally quit.  MC21 might "eat" the keys if it is running, even as a server.

Weird.  I think iTunes was stealing them.  After hammering on the keys all afternoon and not having them work, I just hit play a few times in a row and iTunes magically opened and started playing music.  Then I killed the app and MC22 started honoring them again.  I never use iTunes, so not sure what triggered it to open, but once it was open, closing it worked.
