SUMMARY

Many Macintosh keyboards do not have function keys F1 through F12. However, you can still begin and stop recording macros on these systems.
  1. To begin recording a macro, choose Macros from the Program menu. If you are using Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, click Macros from the Tools menu. Click the Record button. After you define a key combination for the macro and click OK, the following message will appear:
    Recording <keystroke combo>. SHIFT + F10 to stop
  2. Record the macro.
  3. To stop recording the macro, press COMMAND+OPTION+SHIFT+0 instead of SHIFT+F10.
If a macro is not currently being recorded, pressing COMMAND+OPTION+SHIFT+0 opens the Macro Key Definition dialog box so that you can start recording a new macro.
