F9 shortcut key causes conflicts

[robro]

Hi all,
well i do some c++ programing in codeblocks and when i press f9 to compile the project the screen dims to about 50% and it goes back when i press it again it goes back to normal.
is there anyway i disable this? i have looked in the shortcut keys in the menu but found nothing
btw if it helps, i'm running compiz

Have you tried disabling compiz?

[robro]

How?

[wojox]

Go into Appearance > Visual Effects > None

Right click on the desktop, change desktop wallpaper, visual effects, and turn effects to none.

Or you don't have to disable all the Compiz effects. All you need to do is to change the Widgets Layer shortcut in the CCSM: Open CCSM > Widgets Layer > General > Toggle Widget Display > Change to anything else, or even disable it.
