Bo:

I'll respond below.

Actually, that's the way I do it too.  I think it's cleaner, but I'm 
not sure if the documentation is very clear.  I call 
(ess-sas-global-keys) after requiring ess-site.

Hmmm.  ESS[BUGS] F-keys manage to co-exist with ess-sas-global-keys.  I 
think the following excerpt is somehow responsible.  Maybe if you put 
something like this in .emacs before requiring ess-site:

(if ess-bugs-mode-map nil
     (setq ess-bugs-mode-map (make-keymap))
     (define-key ess-bugs-mode-map (quote [f2])  'ess-revert-wisely)
     (define-key ess-bugs-mode-map (quote [f12]) 'ess-bugs-next-action)
)

So F3 would submit the code, but what would F4 do?
