I seem to have missed the start of this thread. I'd just like to say though that as long as you use the standard windowEyes hot key manager (which is part of the standard window eyes help dialog), then we all can change the hotkeys to be whatever we like best.
I agree also that letter combinations are easier to remember, however, we have so many scripts, and so many hotkeys assigned by the application itself, that it's hard to come up with letter combinations which are not ever used. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Rick [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2010 3:46 PM To: gwinfo Subject: Re: Preference of shortcut keys opinions please I agree.
