I believe that I read somewhere that if you put an app in the doc, you could create a shortcut key for it.

For instance, there are many times when a program does not have appropriate keyboard command sfor moving focus to a certain part of the UI (like focus on document area or focus to contacts panel etc). Has anyone tried AppleScript yet on Lepoard? I played with it a bit on Tiger, but the dictionary dialog in the script editor application which allows you to see what objects are exposed by an application (so you can apply script to them) was not very accessible. In any case, moving focus etc might be more easily done via Applescript, which means you could add keyboard commands to do useful things etc. Just my two cents. -- Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2007 5:29 PM Subject: Re: shortcut keys > Hello Michael, > > To set up a shortcut for a given application, open System Preferences, > Go to the Keyboard&Mouse pane, > Select Keyboard Shortcuts, > Click the Plus button to the right of the Outline, > A dialogue box will appear, > Click on All Applications, > Select the application for which you want to create a shortcut by > pressing Return, > You must type the exact title of the menu item as it appears in the > application, > Move to the Keyboard Shortcut field and enter the key combination you > wish to use, > Note that it does not check for conflicts with other commands you may > have created, > Click Add and you will be returned to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and you > can add more if you want to. > > Cheers, > > Anne > > > > On Nov 3, 2007, at 6:03 PM, michael babcock using a mac! wrote: > >> hi all; >> i'm curious if there is a way in 10.4 to set up shortcut keys for cirten >> apps? how to do this as well? >> thanks >> check out my personal blog and podcast at >> http://www.gwfans.net >> "the best things in life are unseen, that's why we close our eyes when >> we kiss, cry, and dream!" >> msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> skype: mouki2005 >> personal email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> >> > > >
