Ion offline editor for Mac

Just in case you haven't, download the Hotkeys Quickguide: Eos Family v1.9.1 Hot Keys Quick Guide

Windows and Mac hotkeys should be the same, though you need to remember that alt = option.  So, patch is option-F2.  Depending on your OS settings, you may need to hold down the fn key to ket a true function keycode out of F2, not a system shortcut.

I believe that the patch hotkey is relatively new, so also make sure you are running the latest version of the OLE.

There is a visual guide within the Tea Break series as well - with Mac differences listed on the side:

I just ran into this issue as well today showing a student on a mac book pro how to use the offline editor.

It seems that the mac won't let me use the F keys with offline, instead of showing the CIA when I pressed F9 on his laptop it would attempt to "next track" in itunes, and when I pressed Fn-F9 it would show me all the open windows.

You have a system-wide shortcut mapped to F9.  Go to System Preferences>Keyboard.  Look at Expose & Spaces -- what you're seeing is Expose's All Windows feature.  You can either turn off or re-assign the shortcut.

Under the keyboard tab of the settings, you can select whether the function keys behave as application function keys or as special keys.  The fn button will do the opposite of your preference.

FYI, you can also get to patch via the displays hotkey, then the corresponding softkey (I don't have it in from of me).  You can also get to patch via the brewer in the CIA.  Once patch is open, it will stay in a tab until you close it, so you really only need those extra few keystrokes once.

On my Mac Book Pro I am able to use the "F" keys in Eos by holding the [Apple] button down, which allows me to keep my familiar system shortcuts intact

I tried the Apple-F9 thing, no dice on my iMac with 10.6.4

As for going to Displays -> Patch in the CIA, this works on EOS offline, but not ION offline.
