Hello all,
this is silly question but for PC, the selected evaluation key is F9. But for Mac os shift+F7. But I just got a new mac key board and shift+F7 doesn't seem to work for some reason. Has anyone have any problem with this? This is something that I need to mess with the preference? Thanks in advance.

By default, the function keys perform the special function depicted on
them. To get normal function key operation you have to press the "fn"
key also.

Or you can go to System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard and
check the item that says "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function
keys". But then you'll have to use that "fn" key to get the special Mac
functions. Your choice.
