I was wondering if it were possible to create keyboard shortcuts for applications(so I could choose certain key(s) to open them in mac os 8.6. and also how to do it or if anyone knows of any online tutorials on how to do this if it were possible. that would be really convenient. thanks

Launch Key by Trivectus will do that http://www.trivectus.com/
There are also several other utilities that do similar things.

There's a control panel that can do this for you. It's called FunKeys - you can assign application launches or whatever to the Fkeys on your keyboard. Forget where to download it, but something like shareware.com or versiontracker.com would probably have it.

What kind of computer do you have? Some versions of 8.6 which came with certain computers allowed you to map function keys (F1, F2, F3...) to applications.

Does OS 9 have the F key assignment feature?
There's another control panel, I think it's called QuickPop, that lets you assign F keys or key combinations to open applications, files, folders, control panels, change color / black & white, and adjust sound volume. I don't think it works in OS 9, as it hasn't been updated in awhile.

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Yonkers can have better TV reception.

If you are using OS 9, the Keyboard control panel will let you assign function keys to launch applications.

The keyboard control panel only has F Key mapping if you have a new Mac that comes with built in USB.

I installed the quick keys 4.0 application and am quite happy with it. Thanks all for your input.

Someone developed a patch that would enable Fkey mappings via the Keyboard control panel if your system software/machine combination didn't already allow it. I downloaded it and it worked, but I must have throw it away, and now I can't find it again.  Anyone have any idea where I can get it?

You can never have too many Macs.

Another way to map the keys using the keyboard control panel is to use Wish I Were to make your computer think it has USB.
