I just tested your script, and it seems to work ok, I had to change the hotkeys though since I don't have an F23/F24 key on my keyboard

Maybe it's an issue with a conflicting hotkey in another app?

hrm odd. no i don't have anything else using my extra fkeys. thanks for looking into it though. probably just some wonkey issue with my system.(it's not in a happy state)
