Hi Ken,
Other have hit the same problem when debugging Java
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13391804/eclipse-run-debug-shortcut-key-doesnt-work
The issues is that the F5/F6/F7/F8 are set in the General>Keys preference
to be active when 'Debugging'
This allows some other editor/plugin to use them for something else in a
different context.
I am not sure if there is a generic context you can set them to. I couldn't
figure it out in the 10 minutes I spent.

Subject:	[WDSCI-L] RDI 9.5.0.2 Function keys stop working in Debug...
Sent by:	"WDSCI-L" <wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi,
I am using RDi 9.5.0.2 and inside of debug, and every so often my FUNCTION
keys for Play, Step-Over, and Step-Into STOP WORKING!!! <frustration>
I think I have found one way to duplicate it:
1.)    Start debug with RDI...
2.)    Use functions for Step over and/or INTO. Works Great!
3.)    Flip to OUTLINE view for analysis, to find a field size...
Using LPEX, the editor will give you pop-up tip on the attributes.
But, this functionality "disappears" in Debug-Mode for whatever reason.
4.)    Then try use Function keys for Debugging again. And they all are
SHUT OFF!! They no longer work!!!
This has been a long time annoyance for me for a VERY LONG TIME! Which
makes me extremely frustrated at RDI DEBUG...
Oh well, at least I found "one way" to duplicate Function keys stop working
for debug....
Reported on PMR# 45239 442 000 -- RDI 9.5.0.2 Function keys stop working in
Debug
PS. Haven't had my Delete and/or Backspace key fail me in quite a while on
RDI! <Joy Joy> That normally was VERY RARE, but still drove me MAD... <LOL>
