Or I can set the function keys to not do their mac functions, i.e., to work as standard function keys. Can one do better? I'd even be happy if I could make the 7 key the GOLD key and the 9 key the PF3 key. Or maybe something with the 6-key key cluster (fn, home, pg up, delete, end, pg dn)? I really miss using PF1 and PF3 to FIND NEXT and FIND.
