Hi to everyone

i have just downloaded MSBox for MAC OS X to play to old settlers 1. I'm having some problems with the keyboard shortcuts: it says to use CTRL+ 1 2 3 etc but it simply doesn't work.

I have a Mac Book Pro where the F keys have also other functions such as control the volume or the luminosity. I've tried adding to the combination the fn (function) key that should switch from the key's function to the F key, but it didn't worked.

Do you have any idea?

You have to disable the keys options in osx that assign the fkeys to expose, spaces, mission control etc. And yes you need to make the special functions like volume to use fn+fkeys (or use fn+ dosbox shortcuts).
