Hi all,
Sorry, I did not mean to send this to the list. Ughhh.

Hi Karen,
This is for when you have a few minutes that are not occupied with
more important issues in your life.
I am using many of your Quickeys macros with much success (and
gratitude). I have learned to re-map the keyboard hot keys to
where I need them. (For a reason I can't fathom, I can't make the
Lyric Tool macro work.)
There are a few more shortcuts I'd like to have - to select the
chord tool, the repeat tool, the key signature tool, and the
special tools tool. I don't know how to program them to work
instantly the way you do. If you have the time to make them, or
tell me how (assuming it's not rocket science) so that I don't have
to bother you in the future, that would be most generous.
I am using a small 20 key supplementary keyboard again (which I had
abandoned for a while - called X Keys) and have mapped the tool
selection commands to it, leaving the function keys available for
various little macro events like toggling all or partial measures,
or view active layer only. It works pretty well, but the larger 58
key X Keys keyboard that I also have, is simply too big to be
practical for me. However, it might be good for a real power user
like you who needs many macros and shortcuts. If you'd like to try
it, I'd be glad to send it. It's just taking up space here.
There are some Mass Edit things that I find useful, and I had a
friend (no longer around) who programmed them in 2005. Since the
mass edit dialog has been changed, these didn't port to 2006. The
choices for which I like shortcut macros are: Copy everything
except measure expressions (practically my default condition), copy
only chords, and copy only smart shapes. As I'm writing this, it
occurs to me that I am probably missing out on a built in
functionality that would do the last by not being familiar with the
Smart Find and Paint functions. Got to learn them. How to do these?
Simon Troup got me on the IRC chat site - and I communicated with
him this morning (he's on a weekend camping trip now), adn that was
fun, but my typing is atrocious, and I'm not used to these IM
things. Still, he said you are on from time to time, so I'll check
in now and then.
Best regards, and thanks again for your help.
