Actually, Macs can use either the control, command (apple) or option key with shift modifier for some of them as well. On Windows, the command key is actually the windows key. Not certain if it can be used as a modifier. Bob S On Nov 13, 2014, at 07:29 , Richard Gaskin mailto:ambassa...@fourt

Thanks Richard - great explanation as usual! By the way, I am using some Unicode characters in menu items in Windows 7 (actually running on a Mac under Parallels) and sometimes I’ve noticed that they don’t “stick”, in that one can paste a Unicode character like the square root symbol into a men

Just to say, of course I can't use 'x' as a keyboard shortcut in a 'File' menu, since there is nearly always an 'Edit' menu in the same toolbar which uses 'X' for 'Cut'. In the whole toolbar, all keyboard shortcuts must of course be distinct, and are presumably not case sensitive. That was my si

Looks like, from playing with the Menu Builder that whatever key the & precedes will be the hotkey in Windows. Of course, it needs to be unique for that menu button. If that is not working (by holding the Alt button and typing the key) then that is probably some kind of bug, unless you have keyd

Thanks - I see that 6.7.1 is addressing these issues, but I need them on LC7 because I’m dipping my toe into Unicode. I’m hoping it’s only a day or so away… Graham > On 12 Nov 2014, at 10:13, Jacques Hausser wrote: > > Hi Graham, > > see bug 13836 (fixed - avaiting built) and the discussion t

Question 1: The & only works for Windows, where menus can be triggered with the keyboard. The character after the & will be the one to trigger, and it'll be shown underlined. You can choose any char in a word, it doesn't need to be the first one, and the premade ones are chosen as per Windows hu
