10 Getting started with FileMaker Pro in Mac OS X
Keyboard command changes
Because Mac OS X reserves the keystrokes Command-M (Minimize) and Command-H (Hide), the
keystrokes for the following FileMaker Pro commands have been changed for Mac OS X:
Note The above changes apply only to FileMaker Pro 5.5 in Mac OS X.
Switching between records, layout, and requests
To switch between records, layouts, and requests in Mac OS X, use Control-↑ and Control-↓.
FileMaker Pro has previously used Command-Tab and Shift-Command-Tab to move to the next
(or previous) record, layout, or request in Browse, Layout, and Find modes. Both Mac OS 9.x and
Mac OS X use Command-Tab and Shift-Command-Tab for switching between open applications.
In Mac OS 9.x and earlier, you can change the configuration of Application Switcher to use
different keyboard commands, making the Command-Tab and Shift-Command-Tab keystrokes
available for FileMaker Pro to use. (For a description of how to make this change, see the
Mac OS 9 Help topic, “Switching between open programs.”) However, in Mac OS X, you can’t
change or disable these keyboard commands. Command-Tab and Shift-Command-Tab are not
available as shortcuts in FileMaker Pro 5.5 in Mac OS X.
