Function Keys Dialog

Used to create keyboard function key menus and to modify current function key menus. A function key menu is a file that contains keyboard function key definitions — assignments of actions to function keys. The title bar of the Function Keys dialog identifies the open function key menu.

You can access this dialog from the following:

Ribbon: File > Settings > User > Function Keys

Key-in: DIALOG FUNCKEYS

Key-in: SET FUNCTION

Note: The function key menu used by default is named funckey.mnu.
