Re: Cursor key navigation in tables

2013-03-18 Thread Lin Sims
The caveat here (as I just discovered) is that using those four Modify
lines apparently turns cursor key navigation in the regular text OFF.

 Hi Rick,

 I checked with my FM 8 and FM 9 installations - table navigation was OFF.

 Your suggestion is to add:

 Modify MoveIPToCellAtRight KeySequence /Right 
 Modify MoveIPToCellAtLeft KeySequence /Left 
 Modify MoveIPToCellAbove KeySequence /Up 
 Modify MoveIPToCellBelow KeySequence /Down 

 In FM 8, I had a modification installed (Shlomo Perets' toolbar). I added
 these 4 lines to the existing custumui.cfg = table navigation via key
 arrows is now ON!

 In FM 9 there was no customui.cfg, so I created this file with these 4
 lines as the only content = table navigation is now ON!

 So everything's fine and working in these older FM-versions. Thank you!

 Best regards -

 Hi Fred,



 I specifically tested the four I modified with FrameMaker 10 and they
 worked. I don't have 9 anymore so I can't test it with 9. Send me the modify
 sequences you tried and I will test them. It could be a problem specific to
 9, but maybe the syntax isn't exactly right. Thanks.

 Thanks Rick and Syed.

 In my poking around earlier today, I did find these commands in cmds.cfg and
 tried to reassign the MoveIPToCellAbove and ...CellBelow commands to more
 convenient shortcut keys. But whether I left them alone, changed the
 KeySequence  definition, or added a Modify  command, those two MoveIP
 commands refuse to do anything. ...CellAtLeft and ...CellAtRight both work,
 as do MoveIPUpAndSelectText and MoveIPDownAndSelectText, but not the two
 commands I specifically want to use. I suppose I'll just have to use the
 move and select commands, because at least it's better than having to reach
 for the mouse every damn time.

 What's frustrating is that I *know* these commands worked in FM5.5.6, 6.0,
 7.x and 8.0. Chalk up one mlore feature that got broken and never fixed when
 Adobe saw fit to impose their stupid and inconvenient (and buggy...) UI on
 us with version 9.0. Sigh...

 I suppose I *should* report this bug to Adobe, but every time I have done it
 in the past has been an exercise in ultimate frustration. Every time it has
 taken me between one and two hours to accomplish something that should have
 taken 10-15 minutes. And ever since software development and maintenance was
 moved to Bangalore, the only response I have ever gotten to a reported bug
 was that we fixed the software to make it work the way it was supposed to
 work. Never mind that the new behavior was illogical and inconsistent with
 how other similar features worked, the mere fact that FrameMaker now behaved
 differently meant that a whole flock of my carefully designed procedures and
 processes no longer worked. I might have chalked it up to job security, but
 my employer (by acquisition...) chose to shut down their operation here in
 New Jersey. But that's a story for another day...

 Thanks for your efforts, guys.

RE: Cursor key navigation in tables - and another thing (graphic frame placement)

2013-03-18 Thread Heidi Bailey
Hi Rick,
I'd love to apply what you describe below. However, in my FM10 Fminit folder, I 
have a configui folder (no config folder), and no customui.cfg file. Can you 
tell me which of the files in there is the right one:

Cmds.cfg (which I see someone has already mentioned...)
Mathcmds.cfg
Sample.cfg
Wincmds.cfg

Or do I need to create a config folder and a file called customui.cfg?


Oh, and while I'm emailing the list:
Whenever I put a new graphic frame in (eg when doing Esc fif to place a 
screenshot), FM centers the frame. I need my graphic frames left-aligned, so it 
is a pain to have to reset this each time.
I hunted through the maker.ini file but found nothing. Is there some way of 
setting FM to always left-align new graphic frames?

Thanks,
Heidi

I created a customui.cfg file and put it in the fminit\configui folder
and it works perfectly. The only caveat, as I noted in a different
email, is that cursor navigation apparently no longer works in regular

Bruce Foster's ImpGraph plugin did what you wanted, but with his death
it is, as far as I know, no longer available. Maybe someone has a copy

Re: Cursor key navigation in tables - and another thing (graphic frame placement)

2013-03-18 Thread Mike Wickham
I'm sure the folder name was just a typo on Rick's part. The folder is 
configui. Create a text file called customui.cfg to hold the commands.


The other files you mentioned can be edited, too, but it's best to put 
all your customizations in the customui.cfg file. FrameMaker reads it 
last, and overwrites definitions loaded from the other files. So if an 
entry doesn't work out, you can delete it and FrameMaker will return to 
default behavior without having to reenter the original values. It's 
much easier to test and make changes that way, and easier to move your 
customizations to future FM versions.

No. I used to use QuicKeys to change this for all frames in a book, but sadly

RE: Cursor key navigation in tables - and another thing (graphic frame placement)

2013-03-18 Thread Fred Ridder

One solution to this is to define the KeySequence for navigation within a table 
to use one or more modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, or Alt) in addition to the 
cursor keys. This change does not affect the function of the unmodified cursor 
keys in regular text. 

To specify a modifier key in a KeySequence string, just use a plus sign for 
Shift, a caret for Ctrl, or a tilde for Alt. The modifier key symbol(s) needs 
to appear at the start of the string with no space (i.e. immediately to the 
left of the slash). For example:
Modify MoveIPToCellBelow KeySequence ^/Down 
would define the keystroke combination for moving down a row in a table to be 
the Ctrl key plus the down arrow cursor key.

BTW, all of this is documented in a PDF called CustomizingfFrameProducts.pdf 
that Adobe used to distribute in the Documentation directory of the FrameMaker 
installation. Unfortunately, this document was last updated for FrameMaker 7.0, 
and was no longer distributed with versions after 9.0.  I would hope that this 
file is still available somewhere on the Adobe website, but I suspect that may 
be over-optimistic.

modifier key symbol(s) needs to appear at the start of the
string with no space (i.e. immediately to the left of the
slash). For example:
Modify MoveIPToCellBelow KeySequence ^/Down 
would define the keystroke combination for moving down a row in
a table to be the Ctrl key plus the down arrow cursor key.

BTW, all of this is documented in a PDF called
CustomizingfFrameProducts.pdf that Adobe used to distribute in
the Documentation directory of the FrameMaker installation.
Unfortunately, this document was last updated for FrameMaker
7.0, and was no longer distributed with versions after 9.0. I
would hope that this file is still available somewhere on the
Adobe website, but I suspect that may be over-optimistic.

RE: Cursor key navigation in tables - and another thing (graphic frame placement)

2013-03-18 Thread Fred Ridder

Umm, I think I indicated that in my previous message. To designate modifier 
keys in a KeySequence string:
 - Shift key is +
 - Ctrl key is ^
 - Atl key is ~

AFAIK, FrameMaker does not support any use of the Windows key.

Note that when defining a KeySequence that uses a modifier key (or a 
combination of modifier keys), the modifier key(s) and the key that follows are 
pressed *in combination* rather than as a sequence of separate keystrokes. 
(Most existing KeySequence definitions start with the Esc key, which is denoted 
by \!, followed by several case-sensitive letters that are pressed in sequence.)

Good idea. 

  

  What are the symbols for the ALT, CTRL, SHIFT and Windows Key?

One solution to this is to define the KeySequence for navigation
within a table to use one or more modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, or
Alt) in addition to the cursor keys. This change does not affect
the function of the unmodified cursor keys in regular text. 



To specify a modifier key in a KeySequence string, just use a
plus sign for Shift, a caret for Ctrl, or a tilde for Alt. The
modifier key symbol(s) needs to appear at the start of the
string with no space (i.e. immediately to the left of the

I don't know of any way to specify the Windows logo key in a KeySequence, but 
you can use /Apps to specify the Application key. For instance, my FM 7.2 
customui.cfg file (based on the original MicroType customization kit) contains 
the following shortcuts for table navigation: 

Modify MoveIPToColumnTop  KeySequence /Apps /Home 
Modify MoveIPToColumnBottom   KeySequence /Apps /End 
Modify MoveIPToPreviousCell   KeySequence /Apps /Left 
Modify MoveIPToNextCell   KeySequence /Apps /Right 
Modify MoveIPToCellAbove  KeySequence /Apps /Up 
Modify MoveIPToCellBelow  KeySequence /Apps /Down 

Note that the Application key and the key that follows are pressed in sequence 
(as indicated by the space between them). (Actually, it works if you hold the 
Application key while pressing the following key, but then you have to release 
the Application key and press it again before you can repeat the action.)

The sequence posted by Rick, and modified by Fred, worked for me in FrameMaker 
11 ... I decided to use the Alt key sequence that Fred outlined, because 
CTRL-arrow and shift-arrow has other cursor positioning purposes that I use in 
FrameMaker a lot.

No. I used to use QuicKeys to change this for all frames in a book, but sadly

RE: Cursor key navigation in tables

2013-03-18 Thread Heiko Haida
 

Hi all, 

I checked with alt-key + shift-key + arrow-keys, that
would work (alt/shift+arrow does not seem to have another function when
the cursor is placed in the text). 

Modify MoveIPToCellAtRight
KeySequence ~+/Right 
Modify MoveIPToCellAtLeft KeySequence ~+/Left

Modify MoveIPToCellAbove KeySequence ~+/Up 
Modify
MoveIPToCellBelow KeySequence ~+/Down  

Best regards - 

Tino H.
Haida, Berlin 

 Hi Rick, 
 
 I checked with my FM 8 and FM 9
installations - table navigation was OFF. 
 
 Your suggestion is to
add: 
 
 Modify MoveIPToCellAtRight KeySequence /Right 
 Modify
MoveIPToCellAtLeft KeySequence /Left 
 Modify MoveIPToCellAbove
KeySequence /Up 
 Modify MoveIPToCellBelow KeySequence /Down  


 In FM 8, I had a modification installed (Shlomo Perets' toolbar). I
added these 4 lines to the existing custumui.cfg = table navigation
via key arrows is now ON! 
 
 In FM 9 there was no customui.cfg, so
I created this file with these 4 lines as the only content = table
navigation is now ON! 
 
 So everything's fine and working in these
older FM-versions. Thank you! 
 
 Best regards - 
 
 Tino H. Haida,
Berlin 
 
 Hi Fred, 
 
 I specifically tested the four I modified
with FrameMaker 10 and they worked. I don't have 9 anymore so I can't
test it with 9. Send me the modify sequences you tried and I will test
them. It could be a problem specific to 9, but maybe the syntax isn't
exactly right. Thanks.

In my poking around earlier today, I did find these commands in cmds.cfg
and tried to reassign the MoveIPToCellAbove and ...CellBelow commands to

not the two commands I specifically want to use. I suppose I'll just

Thanks, Rick, but using all the default configuration files, the *default* key 
sequences (Cmd,t,m,u and Cmd,t,m,d) don't work, eitherIf the underlying command 
isn't working with the default key sequence, I think the issue of the syntax of 
my modification sequences is moot.

Hi Fred, I specifically tested the four I modified with FrameMaker 10 and they 
worked. I don't have 9 anymore so I can't test it with 9. Send me the modify 
sequences you tried and I will test them. It could be a problem specific to 9,

RE: Cursor key navigation in tables

2013-03-16 Thread Heiko Haida
 

Hi Rick, 

I checked with my FM 8 and FM 9 installations - table
navigation was OFF. 

Your suggestion is to add: 

Modify
MoveIPToCellAtRight KeySequence /Right 
Modify MoveIPToCellAtLeft
KeySequence /Left 
Modify MoveIPToCellAbove KeySequence /Up

Modify MoveIPToCellBelow KeySequence /Down  

In FM 8, I had a
modification installed (Shlomo Perets' toolbar). I added these 4 lines
to the existing custumui.cfg = table navigation via key arrows is now
ON! 

In FM 9 there was no customui.cfg, so I created this file with
these 4 lines as the only content = table navigation is now ON! 

So
everything's fine and working in these older FM-versions. Thank you!


Best regards -

The key sequences Matt found in FM 5 training materials apparently ceased 
working prior to FM 7.2. My FM 7.2 installation has UI customizations from 
Microtype.com, and they enable table cell navigation by pressing the 
Application key followed by the desired arrow key. I'm guessing that feature is 
still available in later Microtype customization products -- along with scores 
of other changes you'll find you can't live without. :-)

Thanks Rick and Syed.

In my poking around earlier today, I did find these commands in cmds.cfg and 
tried to reassign the MoveIPToCellAbove and ...CellBelow commands to more 
convenient shortcut keys. But whether I left them alone, changed the 
KeySequence  definition, or added a Modify  command, those two MoveIP 
commands refuse to do anything. ...CellAtLeft and ...CellAtRight both work, as 
do MoveIPUpAndSelectText and MoveIPDownAndSelectText, but not the two commands 
I specifically want to use. I suppose I'll just have to use the move and select 
commands, because at least it's better than having to reach for the mouse every 
damn time.

What's frustrating is that I *know* these commands worked in FM5.5.6, 6.0, 7.x 
and 8.0. Chalk up one mlore feature that got broken and never fixed when Adobe 
saw fit to impose their stupid and inconvenient (and buggy...) UI on us with 
version 9.0. Sigh...

I suppose I *should* report this bug to Adobe, but every time I have done it in

 Subject: RE: Cursor key navigation in tables
 
 The sequence Escapetmda will move the Insertion Point down one cell and
 highlight the text in it.
 
 The sequence Escapetmd (i.e., without the 'a') is support to just move
 the Insertion Point down one cell. But it does not seem to work ... :(
 
 And, of course, Escapetmua goes up one cell. Again, for some reason
 unknown to me, Escapetmu does not work ...
 
 What I have not been able to figure out is how to tie the arrow keys to this
 sequence of keystroke when in cells
