they can be accessed from within the tool, but the tools themselves can also be assigned metatools (ctl-f through '). since they are per tool, you have 35+ metatools for each of the tools i listed (so something like 280+ in total). if they were tool-independent, you would only have 35+ TOTAL.
i use iKey extensively for various tasks and task sequences which give you even more "metatools" and that are generally tool-independent; you can use a variety of key combinations in iKey, for example, i press ctl-opt-n to call up the change expression dalogue, cmd-ctl-t to run TGTools shift accidentals and dismiss the dialogue on a selected region. you can also build dozens of tasks in a single key command to across a variety of tools, essentially building your own plugins, i suppose. >Refresh my memory -- metatools are key combinations that work from >any tool in the program?
