In it goes, along with a colorful intro on cracking that digital FCP manual from Joey.

I got to thinking- Joey, what happens when even the directions to the manual are too hard? I made a quick applescript, that simply launches the Manual. It's called FCPFixAll.app. Please feel free to use it when you aren't getting anywhere. (Unless of course, they haven't told you that not only do they not have FCP installed, but they're running Windows 95. Then this app is of no help at all.)
You can download the app at [drop.io] or simply paste the following into script editor-

tell application "Preview"
open "/Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Final Cut Pro Help/Final Cut Pro User Manual.pdf"
end tell

Hmm... since we're on manuals... There's that "help" key that's really more of an annoyance (it pops up every now). Is there anyway to turn off help?

I've been looking for a way to turn that off forever! Haven't found it yet (short of taking a screwdriver and ripping the key out...whose idea was it to put it so close to Delete?). I'd love it if somebody could find a workaround.

Feature request time! Or wait. maybe someone will write us a plug-in for this...

Couldn't you remap that key in FCP and make it do ... something else? Or nothing?

You can certainly remap it. But is there "no command?" command?

I got that Manuals site bookmarked, thanks!

Erm... Actually, I realized that they removed that key in the new aluminium keyboard (they probably realized it was more of a hindrance).

And no, there's no way to remap that darn key.
