I have noticed you can assign event properties in another form to an action on the mainform, but in this case there is no component in each form to assign each action, so not relevant in this case.
I suppose I could put a hidden menu on each form and assign menu items to each of the actions on the mainform. But rather messy.

I have just added basic edit cut,copy paste actions to my main form and have a single popup menu on the main form, which i dynamically bind to all edit controls in the app. its working perfectly On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 8:00 PM, Ross Levis <[email protected]> wrote: What would be the easiest method to get some shortcuts that are defined in an Actionlist on the mainform to work when another form has the focus? I have code to set the ShortCut number in the Actionlist based on user settings. I believe I can use TApplication.OnShortCut and manually check for keys pressed. Is that the best method? It will mean duplicating code as I still need the ActionList for some associated buttons and menu items.
