OK, alarmist warnings out of the way, I doubt that many people will come across this issue, but everyone needs to be aware, to avoid loss of work/data.

I currently only know that this will reliably crash my macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Poser 11.2.391 system, so confirmation is needed as to whether it affects other versions of Poser and other OS configurations. Please don't test this on an active scene unless you've just saved and confirmed the save is complete!

While editing Poser Preferences>Interface>Shortcuts, I successfully added a shortcut to one of my Python Scripts from the ScriptsMenu hierarchy, without a problem, using a similar key combination to all of the others. However, when I though to try something different, since Poser and the OS itself use a lot of the obvious key combos, I double-clicked another script and when the Shortcut editor dialog came up, I pressed the Fn key on my main keyboard. Poser immediately crashed to desktop in a cloud of bits (nicely tidied into a crash dump in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports).

Can folks on other setups please confirm this? I have reported this via the current Beta GitLab path, while we eagerly await announcement of the new reporting mechanisms.

Again, please DON'T try this unless you know you've saved your work.
