Is there a way to prevent an accidental F8 in the log window from running the entire egp? I do not ever want to submit code from the log window, but my finger sometimes hits the button out of habit.
It appears pressing F3 or F8 in a log window currently runs the entire process flow the program is in. That is not intuitive. If focus is in the log, I would not expect F3 or F8 to run anything, since a log is not "runnable" (for the same reason there is no Run button on the contextual toolbar for logs, but there is for programs). I'll enter this as a suggested improvement in our tracking system, such that F3 and F8 do not run anything when focus is in a log.

I don't think EG function keys can be changed unfortunately.

Agreed and great idea - I've ended up running all open programs accidently this way as they automatically get added to the process flow.
