Hi there! OK you can set up your own key stroke to activate the whole thing [in key board in system pref's] When you are in the key board window select the keyboard shortcuts tab and in the table of items select Services then in the next table arrow through until you find [under text] make new text with selection and you will be given an option to put your own key stroke into it! So you could put command/option/1 or something else [as long as that stroke does not already exist] and when your done then close and from then on you will only need to press your key combination much faster then both other options! hth Colin
