Is there a Mac equivalent of the F5 key?

Post by willf »

In some tutorials, the animator presses the f5 key after placing a keyframe in order to put a keyframe in every bone channel at that point- to reduce "wavering" or something.

My question: Does anyone know the Mac equivalent of this key? Pressing F5 for me turns my volume down.

Also, is there a keyboard shortcut for the Eyedropper tool? If not, is it possible to create a new shortcut?

Thanks.

Hi Willf

I'll have to check the keyboard shortcut for the eyedropper this evening, I work on a pc in work and a mac at home, but the F5 key, it is still the f5 key it is just that you might need to press the fn (function) key too, to override the volume control. I'm not sure but I think you can go to your system preferences and switch them, so to use fn and f5 for volume and f5 by itself will just be a key press.
