--------------- 
It is no longer possible to press F4 to close/open the Information Window.



Solution

 The F4 function key was changed to Repeat Last Command in NX 8. You can use 
CTRL + Shift + S to open/close the Information Window.


You can redefine the F4 function key to restore the previous functionality, 
using the following procedure within NX:


Select Tools --> Customize and select Keyboard... at the bottom of the form.


In the Categories list select View and select Information Window in the 
Commands list (if not already selected). (Note that the current short cut is 
shown as Ctrl+Shift+S).


Select the Ctrl+Shift+S entry in the Current Keys list and select the Remove 
button.


Click in the Press New Shortcut Key field and press the F4 key on the keyboard. 
Select the Assign button.


Select Report (and find the entry for F4) to confirm that the change has been 
made.


Select Close, Close.


The change will be stored in your user.mtx file and applied to each subsequent 
NX 8 session.
