This is a repost of a previous idea (MSR-I-781) where I contributed with further information after I got a reply. The reply was probably swayed by a comment that had missunderstod how F13-F24 works and the status of the idea got changed to "already exist". I cant find any obvious way to apply for a reevaluation and therefor I am making this repost.

Original post:

Background:

Custom keyboards and macro pads are a great way to increase productivity when used together with the ability to add key-ins to keyboard combinations and the function keys. Windows have support for 24 function keys but Microstation only supports up to 12 in the regular interface and 3 more if you are willing to edit the function key menu file with a text editor.

Suggestion:

Add the remaining function keys to the drop down menu [Settings -> function keys] making the list F1 to F24, this would double the available combinations without taking any functionality away.

Updated part:

In the reply on the original post the answerer replied under the assumption that Shift+F1 = F13.

I have added a video and a screenshot to demonstrate that this is not the case.

Attached files and further information:
