Up to 24 function keys may be defined for each diagram.
During supervision the function keys defined as 1 - 12 are activated with
the keys F1 through F12, while the keys defined as
13 - 24 are activated with shift
+ F13 to F24.
A maximum of 15 of the 24 possible function keys may have
a value or a command attached per diagram.
24 global function keys may be defined which are
global to the entire project.
Note that F1 is used to access context-sensitive Help. If you assign a function to this key, it will override the access to Help
