Michael -
I am pretty sure that QuicKeys can't solve this problem.
This is what I used to accomplish it:

Greetings to all on the list -
Please forgive me if my questions have been answered or addressed
previously, and if someone wants to direct me to an answer in the
archives, that
would be great.
That being said - I use Finale 2008b, and recently purchased a new
MacBook
Pro, replacing the previous MacBook Pro that I'd been using for 3
years or
so -- so my new one is a new model MacBook Pro.
So far so good with the new computer, it works great except for one
problem, which is that Apple has eliminated the ENTER key that was
on the bottom,
near the space bar - it seems the only way to "ENTER" something is
to press
the FN Key and the RETURN Key simultaneously -
I used the old ENTER key with Finale on the old keyboard a great
deal, and
- simply put - my hands are way too small to press the FN key and
the RETURN
key simultaneously with one hand while I press a note on a midi
keyboard -
so that way of working with Finale is not possible, which is a drag,
and
inconvenient.
The folks at Finale have suggested either purchasing a number pad,
which I
suppose is possible, though I do travel a great deal and having one
more
thing to tote around with me isn't all that appealing. Or, they've
suggested
using QuicKeys to assign a key to do this function in Finale.
I've downloaded QuicKeys, but so far haven't quite mastered it -- so
my
questions:
Has anyone had this problem?
Has anyone come up with a solution that involves neither a number
pad nor
QuicKeys?
And if you have some expertise with QuicKeys, is there is a simple
way to,
for example, make the CONTROL button act like the ENTER button in
Finale -
and what would that be?
Any help that anyone can offer would be great. Please feel free to
respond to the list and/or to respond directly to me at the e-mail
address below.
Thanks very much to all, hope this finds you all well, and happy
thanksgiving -
