Soldering - Fire watch, Blankets, Flameless options, etc.

I am on a job site where a few fires have happened in short order due to trades not checking the floor beneath them for flammables. I wrote up a policy change that all hot work would recquire fire blankets on each surface from point of work to final surface that sparks could reasonably reach (they aren't going through the slab once its poured, for instance).

It didn't take 5 minutes from announcement before people were clammoring for an exception for one reason or another, most of which I am deaf to due to the fact that, as stated, it clearly is possible - it happened. One is standing out to me as possibly a good argument: soldering.

The solder itself is not going to ignite anything, the torch is positive action only, etc. Maybe the plumbers have a piont and there is no risk.

That said, when I asked whether there was a flameless option, the response I was given was that it was cost prohibhitive, the quoted a $10,000 tool. I can understand that price point being prohibhitive, but a quick search online showed tools more in the $200 range.

So I am curious first if it reasonable that soldering presents low enough risk to not merit fire blankets underneath (risk of fire, I don't care about final product for these purposes) and second at one point is an option too cost prohibhitive?

I use a presentation software (Proclaim, if anyone is actually familiar with it) that allows me to toggle a quick slide and the active slide. For instance, I could put up the company logo while the speaker is elaborating and put up the quote he is reading from when he is actively reading. The native key to put up the logo is F11, F12 returns me to the most recent active slide. Almost all the keys I use are in easy reach of the arrow keys, except these. I would like to consolidate the motion. Since Up is the same as Left and Down is the same as Right, they are redundant - So I would like to map Up to be F11 and Down to be F12 (put up logo, take down logo).

I tried a variety of things already for the most basic

::Down::F11

then

::{Down}::{F11}

then

::{Down}::Send {F11} ;And also without the brackets

I get one of two errors each time:

  1. It gets mad because I have a bracket where I am not supposed to

  2. "Expected string but received Function instead"

My gut is telling me that either arrow keys cannot be remapped, or that I cannot map to an F key. But I haven't found anything saying that save this thread which seems to have conflicting opinions and several other threads seem reach the consensus that you can indeed map to an F key. Thus far, I haven't found anyone trying to make Arrows do anything special, so that is my current theory as to the issue, but I figured I would ask before giving up entirely.
