That toolbox declaration in Tlbx CarbonEvents.incl is wrong for FB5.

[1] Cmd-double-click it to highlight it and change to:
'---------------
toolbox fn RegisterEventHotKey( UInt32 inHotKeyCode, UInt32 inHotKeyModifiers, EventHotKeyID inHotKeyID, EventTargetRef inTarget, OptionBits inOptions, EventHotKeyRef *outRef ) = OSStatus
'---------------

[2] Now change your RegisterHotKeys function to:
'---------------
local mode
local fn RegisterHotKeys
'~'1
dim as EventTargetRef   target
dim as EventHotKeyRef   hotKeyref
dim as EventHotKeyID    hotKeyID

target = fn GetApplicationEventTarget()

hotKeyID.signature = 0
hotKeyID.id = 2

// the magic hex numbers here are the relevant virtual key codes
fn RegisterEventHotKey( 0x78, 0, hotKeyID, target, 0, @hotKeyref ) // F2
fn SetMenuItemProperty( fn GetMenuHandle( _mEdit ), _iCut, 0, _hotProperty, sizeof( EventHotKeyRef ), @hotKeyref )

hotKeyID.id = 3
fn RegisterEventHotKey( 0x63, 0, hotKeyID, target, 0, @hotKeyref ) // F3
fn SetMenuItemProperty( fn GetMenuHandle( _mEdit ), _iCopy, 0, _hotProperty, sizeof( EventHotKeyRef ), @hotKeyref )

hotKeyID.id = 4
fn RegisterEventHotKey( 0x76, 0, hotKeyID, target, 0, @hotKeyref ) // F4
fn SetMenuItemProperty( fn GetMenuHandle( _mEdit ), _iPaste, 0, _hotProperty, sizeof( EventHotKeyRef ), @hotKeyref )
end fn
'---------------
