Hey Mac Denziens,

I got tired of switching the keyboard back and forth to make the function keys work with EVE, so I came up with a solution that will do it automatically based on which app is in the foreground. The code is available here:

https://github.com/mmuszynski/KeyboardSwitcher

There's no executable on github yet, but if there's interest, I'll make it more widely available. Let me know in the OS X chat channel or send me a message in game.

EDIT: Repo now has a binary

How do you run Eve without an Intel Mac?

I use an app on the AppStore called Palua. It's great because it does exactly what you are trying to do. :-)

I can set Parallels to use the Function keys and I can do the same for Eve but leave the Mac apps using the standard Fn versions.

I updated the repo with a binary today. Please let me know if anybody has issues.
