A way to remove the F1 Help Shortcut?!?!?

Hi there,

I was just wondering if there is a way to remove the shortcut for the F1 Help menu??
I use the F2, F3 amd F4 for other functions and it happens often that i touch the F1 and the Help Window starts. It is very annoying and i would like to remove it! Tried with the shortcuts in archicad but this one is blocked

Can someone give me a hint?
thanx

I can't see any attached images from Juha either, but it doesn't matter. I thought were were talking about inside AC only.

Are you guys using Mac laptops by any chance. They don't have the ? (Help) key like the desktops do they?

Gidday Ben - hope all is well up there mate. The Aussie summer is missing you.

Cheers,

I can confirm your problem isn't local. It doesn't work here either.
Cheers Ben, I trust you have polished your skis

And never used a laptop Link. All towers here.

No snow in the southern part of Sweden yet But yes skis are ready and waiting

Link I'm using a laptop (MAC book Pro) with an external keyboard, so it work in the same way as a work station.
The strange thing is that you can redefine some of the non-customizable keys but not all of them.

Life is good. Waves good, but lots of sharks. Even great whites up this far!

But are you redefining them in AC? And are they actually overwrting the original shortcuts? If so, I think we should write a few stern words to GS about their 'non-customizable' keyboard shortcuts!

Cheers,

Sound nice!
Heaps of sharks hey?

No no it a system override. It can't be done in ArchiCAD. In the system settings you can choose any program and asign short cuts to any menu/ Menu item.

Cheers.
