f8 brings up info and f9 brings up actions, whether or not they are
docked. Many of the function keys are predefined... cut, paste, brush
palette etc.
In order to use a function key for certain tasks, you assign it in the
actions palette. Choose new action, choose a function key, record the
action... in the case of a 50% gray swatch, go to your foreground
color, click it, choose a gray and close, click stop recording... when
you hit the function key you set for that action, the foreground color
changes to the gray. Trouble would be, remember which key, and needing
many of them for each percent you may use. I've not done it, I use the
function keys for other things.

Yes, I have that keyboard attached to my powerbook, as that bit the
dust rather early in life. It took a bit, but I'm used to it now.

I was typing to fast here, Command D get's rid of your selection
(marching ants).. .to bring the default black and white back to the
tool palette you simply hit "D"...
