I've just bought a new macbook pro, installed the new Photoshop and tried to create actions with like F2 F4 F6 and F9 for simple edits, however, it reverts to mac functions and does not work. Any ideas? It will save me a lot of editing time if I can get this right.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.6
If you go into System Settings > Keyboard, then click on the Keyboard Shortcuts… button, then select Function Keys in the sidebar of the window that comes up, you'll get a switch that lets you choose whether to
Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys
When this option is selected, press the fn key to use the special
features printed on each key
Set it whichever way you prefer. This option was easier to find in earlier versions of macOS, before Apple moved all of the settings around, but it does still seem to be there (in Ventura, and presumably in Sonoma).

Already sorted it, have to press the function key first
why can't I use F functions in actions on photoshop since upgrading to a new mac and new photoshop
