System-wide Hotkeys
System-wide shortcuts (often referred to as hotkeys) function even if ADR Master is not the frontmost application.
System-wide shortcuts that use F keys (e.g., Cmd & F7) require that your Mac's F keys are configured to act as standard function keys rather than special keys (for controlling display brightness, volume, etc.).
This setting can be found in System Settings > Keyboard > Function Keys. If this setting is disabled, the Fn key would need to be pressed in addition to the shortcut (e.g., Cmd & Fn & F7).

The Enable system-wide shortcuts preference can be found in Preferences / Settings → MISC.

As these shortcuts are not customisable, it is possible that they interfere with existing shortcuts in other apps. Unticking this checkbox will disable them completely.
A restart of ADR Master is required for the changes to take effect.
