Professor Bernd: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assigning F1 to an external help is easy. Unfortunately the PSPad help is also called!
How can I call only the external help with F1, WITHOUT the PSPad help appearing? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I believe, the shortcut for F1 is system-wide, i.e. it cannot be set within the application, it seems the additional assignment to this key isn't replacing the system help for the app. However, as a workaround, you may try to rename the helpfile PSPad.chm to something like PSPad_renamed.chm, then it probably won't be accessible automatically, only directly as a file via file explorer or file manager. For making changes in the program folder - if it is in a protected folder (like Program files) - the administrator account might be needed. (PSPad.chm is located in the program folder or possibly in user folder). hth, vbr -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,71870,71871> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
