Frequently Asked Questions

I assigned a snippet to F1 (or F2 or F3 or F4). Why do weird things happen when I insert it?

InqScribe Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
On Mac OS X, F1 through F4 are reserved for Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste, respectively. Unfortunately we can't change those settings. So if you assign one of those keys to a snippet or a shortcut, what happens when you press the key is, first, Mac OS triggers the underlying edit action, and second, InqScribe senses the keypress and triggers the snippet or shortcut. Generally, this is not what you want, so we recommend avoiding F1 through F4 on Mac OS X.

Which model F4 should I get?

Most people in the USA have the F4s, since that was the only version sold in the USA off the shelf. The other two battery packs are available, however, and some people find the MB 20 pack useful because it makes the body lighter and easier to handle in some situations. Other people find that the larger grip of the MB-23 fits their hands more comfortably. The trade-off is in film advance speed; the F4 will advance film at the rate of 4 frames a second, while the F4s and the F4e will hit 5.
