Re: Keyboard shortcuts to pod elements
I'm in the same boat. I used to use AutoIt for repetitive tasks, and these pods make things difficult. However, if anyone is interested, AutoIt comes with a utility for displaying window info. It's called AutoIt Window Info. It comes with AutoIt, which is free. If anyone tries it, let me know if it helps. Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 On 30-Jun-10 11:31 PM, Carol J.

Keyboard shortcuts to pod elements
I use a programmable keyboard to whiz through repetitive tasks (some of you may use a macro recorder to accomplish the same thing). Prior to the new Pod interface in Frame 9, I had no trouble using keystrokes to navigate to specific fields in a window. Frame made this easy by assigning Alt-code shortcuts. The new pod interface leaves me frustrated and helpless. For example, in the Cross-reference Pod, I can find no way to navigate to the Paragraph Tag or Paragraph Number field so that I can select something from either list. The only fields that have Alt-code shortcuts are Document, Go to Source, Format, Edit Format, and Convert to Text.

Hi Carol, In most (all?) dialog boxes, the Tab key will move sequentially from GUI object to object. I just tried it in the xref pod and it works. However, your macro may be complicated by what the pod remembers from one use to the next -- not sure about that.
