Re: function keys in macro

[Jambunathan K <kjambunathan@gmail.com>]

M-x global-set-key (do whatever Emacs asks you to do)

M-x list-command-history

I see this:

    (global-set-key [27 f2] (quote ignore))

I am using ESC and not Alt (as seen on my keyboard).  Alt-F2 opens a
"Run Program" for me here.
