[Qt-creator] Shortcuts not working under Mac OS X

[Victor Sardina]

Eike:

Thank you for the tip. As a matter of fact the "fix" to this turns
really easy. Anyone wanting "normal" F-keys' behaviour just have to go
to "System Preferences | Keyboard & Mouse | Keyboard" and check the box
that says "Use all F1, F2, etc. as standard function keys".

That gets rid of those pesky, annoying Fn + delete, Fn + F4, etc, when
editing your code. I never really looked into it before, as I used to do
most of my coding under Linux, but recently I have started to use a
MacBook Pro more and more: with BSD under the hood I changed my mind
about Apple, at last...

That option in the System Preferences panel appeared from Max OS X
version 10.3.3 onwards, if I remember well now.

Thank you again,
Victor
