Hi, I haven't been able to find something in 
the messages archive. I am sure that my problem is not original, but 
I haven't been able to find the correct search keywords so I am 
flooded with irrelevant search hits.

My problem is quite simple. I want to set-up a menu with some 
snippets. I have assigned a keyboard macro (win+space) which 
launches a command list named "QuickLaunch" as a menu. I want to set 
up this command list so that it includes a submenu with my snippets. 
Whenever I select a snippet, I want it to be pasted to the active 
window.


Partial Solution:A

I use the default snippets command list. I add all items there and 
to each item I assign the *keys as left click command.

I add an item named Sn&ippets to my QuickLaunch menu and I assign 
the command "*menu show snippets" as a left click command to that 
item.

Problem: I press win+space, QuickLaunch menu appears. I press i, the 
first menu is replaced by the "submenu". When I select a snippet I 
occasionally get the error:

"Cannot find window to change or to send keys to "...

So I tried the following:


Partial Solution:B

Instead of the default snippets command list, I create a folder 
named "mysnippets". I create a text file for each of my snippets 
which includes the text I want to be able to paste.

In the QuickLaunch menu I create 3 items:

(Sn&ippets) *Format StartSubmenu
*Menu Folder c:\program files\PowerPro\mysnippets folderdots 
folderstart mne noext noicons embed nohidden tiptext tooltips 
Autosoftcol 10 center Maxtext 50  cmd "*clip filepaste" 
*Format EndSubmenu

So far so good.

I press win+space and QuickLaunch appears. This time Snippets is a 
submenu. I press i and it gets highlighted. Since there is no other 
item with i as a mnemonic, the submenu opens. Once an item is 
selected, it is pasted properly to the active window.

However, I cannot use user defined mnemonics. My filenames include 
the ambersand: eg "My &Address.txt". If I use "mne" then the proper 
letter is underlined in each item of the submenu, but I have to use 
0,1,2,3... as accelerators which is not very effective. If I don't 
add "mne" then the letters are not underlined at all(ambersand 
appears)

Any idea how to solve any of the problems above?
