[MC-58553] Can't Access Coordinates on Mac

When I use F3 or even Fn+F3, the Exposé screen comes up, not the Minecraft Coordinates in the corner. I would recommend adding an option to change the key you need to press in the settings with the others.

Even if I turn off all the settings for Function keys, it still happens. (I do believe Apple embedded the Exposé function directly into the keyboard, so it would not be possible to change minecraft to acces the F3 key.)

I do believe Apple embedded the Exposé function directly into the keyboard,

And this is a Minecraft bug ?

What did Apple say about your issue ?

You just have to change the shortcut that enables Exposé.

I believe you do not understand. I have removed ALL references to the F3 key in settings (this includes the shortcut, and the "Don't use Function keys for Expose and Launchpad") I don't even use this key so it doesn't matter with me.

Again: What did Apple say about your issue ?

I posted something on the apple support communities, but it never go solved.

Ok. But it's not Minecraft's responsibility to fix an OS / other Application bug.
Minecraft can only react to keys sent by the OS, but if the OS refuses to send a specific key code Minecraft can't do anything.

You may of course suggest that the F3 key in Minecraft may be changed by control options, see here: Minecraft Suggestions on Reddit.

Thank You, this was what I was asking for: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-32498
If this could be included in a future version of Minecraft, then that will fix my problem. Sorry for wasting your time with another Bug Report that was already created.
