Hi Dean, thanks for your detailed diskription. But I didn't meant the keyboard commander in VoiceOver.
What I'm looking for is the keyboard section in system preferences. There you have the possibility to create shortcuts for each command in a programs menue. Just look at it and try it out. It's wonderful. But it's not possible to simply give a shortcut to a command with an elipsis at the end. So again: Can anyone give me a hint how to create shortcuts for such commands in the menue? I'm not sure about it but I think it might have been Esther who posted an information to that.
