On my system (OS X), F9 is Exposé and is captured by the OS before PICO-8 gets it. I've had this keybinding for years, and changing it would be a pain. Can I remap the "save video" key, or trigger it in some other way?

Fn + F9?

Unfortunately, that doesn't do it either, at least not on my keyboard. I ran into the same issue but as I basically never use that OSX function it was simple enough for me to remap it to free up F9, but it will presumably be a recurring issue for OSX users.

Fn+F9 toggles between F9 and whatever magic hardware function is tied to the function key, like keyboard brightness or media play/pause. Exposé actually binds F9, not its alternate personality, so it really does "need" to be remappable.

I'm having similar trouble on my Chromebook Pixel 2. All of its F-keys are bound to other functions and I can't seem to unbind them at an OS level. So I'm stuck muting my volume when I try to toggle recording on. :(

It would be really great if there was a way to rebind recording in Pico8.

EDIT: Turns out I'm dumb and you can totally disable the F-keys being bound to other actions by default in ChromeOS, my mistake! You can toggle it under [chrome hamburger settings icon] > Settings > Keyboard Settings > Treat top row of keys as function keys.

fn+F9 works for me.

I also use FunctionFlip http://kevingessner.com/software/functionflip/

while we are at it, I'm under Linux and the "save video to desktop" doesn't work, I am le very sad :(

rez: works for me on linux.
which distro are you using? do you have a ~/Desktop/ directory?

I get a PICO-8-X.gif under ~/Desktop/ after pressing F9.

yeah, the save to desktop takes ~/Desktop as standard -- I might need to fix that. But as a work-around, create ~/Desktop

I've aliased F6..F9 to F1..F4 for 0.1.2 as a quick solution (F4 doesn't do anything annoying, right?), but have wish-listed customisable keys for later versions -- this is also needed for custom keyboard controls.
