Function Key Resources
Function key resources (of the'FKEY'
resource type) are Command-Shift-number key combinations that are captured and processed by theWaitNextEvent
function. The screen utility resource (a function key resource with resource ID 3) produces a picture of the main screen, contained in a'PICT'
file, when the user presses Command-Shift-3. The'FKEY'
resource IDs 0 through 4 are reserved for future use by Apple Computer, Inc. TheWaitNextEvent
function is described in the chapter "Event Manager" in Inside Macintosh: Macintosh Toolbox Essentials.
