One solution to this is to define the KeySequence for navigation within a table to use one or more modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, or Alt) in addition to the cursor keys. This change does not affect the function of the unmodified cursor keys in regular text.
To specify a modifier key in a KeySequence string, just use a plus sign for Shift, a caret for Ctrl, or a tilde for Alt. The modifier key symbol(s) needs to appear at the start of the string with no space (i.e. immediately to the left of the slash). For example: <Modify MoveIPToCellBelow <KeySequence ^/Down >> would define the keystroke combination for moving down a row in a table to be the Ctrl key plus the down arrow cursor key. BTW, all of this is documented in a PDF called CustomizingfFrameProducts.pdf that Adobe used to distribute in the Documentation directory of the FrameMaker installation. Unfortunately, this document was last updated for FrameMaker 7.0, and was no longer distributed with versions after 9.0. I would hope that this file is still available somewhere on the Adobe website, but I suspect that may be over-optimistic. -Fred Ridder > Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:02:10 -0400 > Subject: Re: Cursor key navigation in tables - and another thing (graphic > frame placement) > From: ljsims.ml at gmail.com > To: hbailey at ocztechnology.com > CC: framers at lists.frameusers.com > > I created a customui.cfg file and put it in the fminit\configui folder > and it works perfectly.
