Description
Quickly switch the mode of your Function Keys on any Mac keyboard!
You need to run a game, or start a graphic application, or work on a project that need F1-F12 as function keys, just hit option+command+TAB and the switch will happen.
With Palua, you just need one click - or one hotkey - to toggle the mode your Fx keys are.
- SMART Mode: Key mode changes with the application that has the focus. When an application has the wrong mode, hit the shortcut, and the settings is automatically stored in the pref if it wasn't defined before.
- Fast Switching: Right click the icon in the menu bar to switch the mode.
- Customizable shortcut: Use the one you like, thanks to the shortcut recorder (see About screen)
- Icons theme: Choose from four different themes for your icons displayed in the menu bar
- Notifications: Added Growl support, and the possibility to have NO notifications at all.
What's New in Version 3.0.1
- Fixed a bug preventing Palua from starting on Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
- Fixed a bug requiring a restart for smart mode to work after a first launch.

Not happy
Since this last update. I cannot keep this application in "FN" mode. It starts up in "Apple" mode, no matter what settings I click.
I hope they fix this.
Wonderful application that keeps getting better
This is a well designed application that works perfectly. The developer is quickly responsive by email, and has included my suggestions in future versions. Great app, great support! Thanks!
Perfect
This does exactly what I need when using Emacs on the Mac. Previously I used Keyboard Maestro (cost: $36) to set up a kludgy AppleScript that didn't work nearly as well. Thanks for this app!
