Applications with a well-dsigned GUI use a listbox that can be floated or docked as a "palette" instead of a popup menu for such things. In fact any menu, including popups, should be possible to be "ripped off" as such a "palette". I had suggested this a long time ago already on this list for the environment popup menu on the main toolbar. > You can also do it with the keyboard: > > * Highlight > * Alt+E then S > * Keep hitting Tab until it highlights the right character style. The reasonable solution would be to allow the users to assign custom shortcuts to each and every menu item, including items in "palettes". Sincerely, Wolfgang
