MCL-626The new launcher does not allow automatic switching of FN keys on Mac
I have a Mac app called Palua that automatically switches between the Macs FN keys (brightness, music controls....) and the F1-F12 keys whenever a certain app is open. I had it set to switch to F1-F12 keys when Minecraft.app was open, and this worked fine with the old launcher.
With the new launcher, this does not work anymore, because the game does not load in the launcher window, it opens in a new window called Minecraft 1.6 instead. So Palua does not recognize the newly opened minecraft 1.6 window to switch to F1-F12 mode.
Here is the app: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/palua/id431494195?mt=12
Environment
Mac OSX 10.8, Java 7 update 25

I don't see how is that a launcher bug.
Is it normal that Minecraft opens in a new window?
It might not be a bug, but it is an issue.
Yes this is how the new launcher works, so you need to tell "Paula" how to recognize the game.
Thats what im trying to say. Its not possible to make it recognize the game window, since it is not minecraft.app.
Since minecraft.app is the launcher window and minecraft 1.6 is the game window, Palua switches to F1-F12 when im in the launcher window.
But when im actually playing in the minecraft 1.6 window, Palua does not switch to F1-F12.
