Hotkeys don't work globally

[Bombastic]

I've set up hotkeys to switch scenes, but I've just noticed that while I'm on any other application, my scenes aren't switching via hotkeys. Any ideas on how to fix for this?


OBS version: 25.0.8

OS: Mojave

Device: Macbook Air

Hotkeys:

• Start/End Stream: Fn + F1
• "Screen" Scene: Fn + F2
• "afk" Scene: Fn + F3
• Mute/Unmute Mic: Fn + F4

Log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/YkTCnzXZM8T9yeSy (note: all the Spotify stuff was from me trying to stream my Spotify playlist via Browser source, didn't work so I just gave up on it)

Alright, so I've found out the solution, which was what I suspected when I first encountered this problem. Basically (I think), OBS Mac hotkeys don't play nice with Function. Which means literally any other key input is fine as an input, except for function keys.

What I would like to know now is if I could use a numpad as a sort of hotkey deck. If anyone knows anything about that please let me know.

Hope this helped!
