Function Key Menus
A function key menu is a file that contains keyboard function key definitions — assignments of actions to function keys. Function key definitions contain action strings that cause an action to occur when you press the function keys.
The default function key menu is funckey.mnu, which is installed in ..\Default\Data\ folder of Bentley View's program directory.
The Function Keys dialog ( ) is used to modify function key menus. You also can define new function keys — using the <F1> through <F12> function keys along with the <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Shift> keys — and add them to function key menus.
The following is the list of system default function key definitions.
