Re: [Framers] smart spaces - selectively disabling ?
Hi Scott, Yep, you know it—I'm not using DITA, structured Frame, or DITA-FMx :-(. But I was just typing up a reply to the list, that corroborates your info: I've received an offlist reply with a FrameScript to toggle the smart spaces on and off, so that's what I'll do (when I get to it, and purchase a new FrameScript license, which is now being sold directly by the developer, Frank Elmore, instead of Finite Matters, who sold it for many years). In the meantime, this is manually possible just by using the manual process, Format > Document > Text Options, to toggle it on and off. I didn't realize that the setting was sticky only until you changed it, not a permanent file setting. And yes, I bet there is a simple shortcut for F-keys that I could set up; I hadn't thought of that because I didn't know what key sequence I needed to keep repeating :-). (So in this respect, FrameMaker is just like Word. Years ago, when I had to use word for a client for a big suite of user docs, I used keyboard macros to toggle smart quotes on and off so that the code snippets would use plain quotes.) Thanks for the tips and info! -Monique -Original Message- From: Scott Prentice Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2016 1:20 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: [Framers] smart spaces - selectively disabling ? Hi Monique... *If* you're working with DITA and *if* you're using DITA-FMx .. you're in luck! FMx has an option to do just that (as well as the same for smart quotes). But I'm thinking that this doesn't help your current situation. :o My only remotely useful suggestion would be to create an ExtendScript to toggle this on/off with a keystroke. If I find myself with some spare time on my hands (not likely in the near future), I might just make a plugin to do this .. does seem rather useful .. but don't hold your breath. I assume you've looked for a keyboard shortcut to toggle this setting? Hmm .. isn't there a way to create shortcuts for "F-KEYS"? I'll try and check something later this afternoon.

Smart spaces
I seem to remember some way of turning the smart spaces option off by default in FrameMaker with the ini file. But I can't seem to find out how to do it. Is it possible? Or am I just dreaming? Rob

Ignore me... I forgot the setting is saved in the document, it's not an ini file setting. Once changed and saved it is always true for that document.

That setting should therefore be held in the template you base your new document on. Our templates stupidly don't have it turned on, despite the large number of code examples in our documents. -Original Message- Bill Briggs wrote: What would be nice is if you could make the default new document have it turned on. - web

Re: Smart spaces
You can. Using FrameMaker, open the file FrameMakerInstallationDirectory\fminit\custom. This is a FrameMaker file, even without the .fm extension. This file is used as the default template. Change the smart spaces setting and save the file.
