I have played around setting some new keyboard shortcuts- I'm left handed and use the mouse in the right hand. So putting al the zoom to fit, properties, scrapbook on the left hand side of the keyboard.
If I create a shortcut: 1
Then when I'm typing in a text frame and I need to actually use the character 1, it activates my shortcut and cancels the editing of the frame.
So I try SHIFT + 1, which is "!"- bt again there will be times when i need to use "!".
Can I disable the detection of shortcuts when I am editing a text frame directly?
Thanks
no you can't, otherwise you cannot copy paste anymore : - )
currently, there is no way to have user defined shortcuts without a modifier.
but we're open to pull requests : - )
Many thanks,
I guess it's not the end of the world to activate the Story Editor when I need to add one of those characters that is assigned to a KB shortcut. Most of the time I'm copying and pasting text in from somewhere else.
I think I'll stick with 1 (without a modifier) for "Zoom to Fit height"
Thanks
"insert > glyph" is your friend.
you can "bookmark" the character that you use more often.
personally, i don't like and i plan to create an alternative tool for inserting characters. but i have to finish some other work first.
but i also need a good way to insert an n-dash...
