Hi Alex, I wanted to make sure, is it option semicolon to make the ellipsis? I use a Spanish layout for my keyboard and it is option period, so maybe it is different depending on the layout. I just wanted to point this out in case other's had a similar issue. The reason I brought it up is because I tried it and it didn't work, so I had to play around until I could find the right key combination.
also, VO+shift+C works very well to get you the precise text, and that way you don't have to worry about accidentally inserting a space where it isn't needed, etc. Thanks, Harry El oct 17, 2012, a las 11:41 a.m., Alex Hall <mehg...@gmail.com> escribió: > Hi, > I just tried making a shortcut to save attachments and it worked.
