ObjectBar 2.0 and F9

from Stardock Forums
I don't have a 'Bring-to-Front' Shortcut Key defined and I don't recall seeing it mentioned before, but I am noticing that the F9 key doesn't work in any application that uses it... unless I unload ObjectBar.

F9 toggles on top/on bottom, F10 toggles visibility. This applies to all widgets which are also used in the new version of ObjectBar.

Thanks. I just installed it and didn't see any mention of the hot keys used. Must have overlooked that. Those keys make no noticeable difference (other than loss of focus for the current app) when OB2 in it docked and autohidden state with no 'widgets' for me. Since I use F9 and F10 in lots of apps (esp some console apps), if it can't be changed then OB2 will have to go.

I have to agree with the enforced F10 override. I use Visual Studio all day every day and just can't run OD2 since it disables the debugger hotkeys. This really really should be configurable. I know I can change the hotkeys in Visual Studio but I've been using the same keys for years and changing to different ones is hard after that long.

Come on guys - Please let me have F10 (and F9) back for the purpose I'm used to.

I too work in an application that has hard coded PF keys and the F9 and F10 are used for various functions throughout the app. This needs to be made a configurable option.
