Arrow navigation in FM tables
I recall (among other custom) configurations, that when I last used FM (5.5) I was able to customize a file, and thus enable using the arrow keys to navigate within an FM table. (Why Adobe continues to leave this out - is a mystery to me.) However, that was about 7 years ago. So can someone refer me to where, if any - this is documented, or how I might go about configuring FM to enable this?

Re: Arrow navigation in FM tables
Hi, John: You can read about customizing FrameMaker's menus and keystrokes in Customizing_FrameMaker_Products.pdf in the onlineManuals directory of your FrameMaker installation. When you learn the notation of FrameMaker's universal (unix-originally) keystrokes, you'll be able to interpret the codes for table operations, and other stuff, too, that's listed in the command files. FrameMaker has keystroke sequences that are mostly mnemonic, for almost everything you can do with mice and menus. Briefly, for some table operations: NOTE: In this notation, ! represents the Escape key. NOTE: To perform an action, tap the keys in sequence; don't hold them down in combinations. NOTE: Case matters. To move around in a table: ! t m r (table move insertion pointer right one cell) ! t m l (table move insertion pointer left one cell) (l is lowercase ell) To select in a table: NOTE: To get the best mnemonic value from these sequences, think of Highlight rather than Select ! t h e (table highlight entry; that is, current cell) ! t h r (table highlight row) ! t h t (table highlight table) HTH Regards, Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices John Pilla wrote: I recall (among other custom) configurations, that when I last used FM (5.5) I was able to customize a file, and thus enable using the arrow keys to navigate within an FM table.

Re: Arrow navigation in FM tables
Thanks, your e-mail sparked my ever getting older memory, this is what I now recall doing (7 years, ago). I had created an extensive CustomUI file, and I had lots of customization's. Like arrow key navigation in tables, and Font size style drop-downs akin to MSWord, etc. ~ John ~ Sr. Learning Specialist, Educational Services MRO Software (An IBM Company) Phn: +1.781.280.2003, Fax: +1.781.280.2201 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maximo 5 Certified, Maximo 6 Certified EAM Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management John Pilla wrote: I recall (among other custom) configurations, that when I last used FM (5.5) I was able to customize a file, and thus enable using the arrow keys to navigate within an FM table.

Re: Arrow navigation in FM tables
Hello Stuart, With this modification, you are able to navigate in tables with the arrow keys - but navigating within paragraphs is then no more possible. There's a free FrameScript TableNavigation.fsl available: http://www.itl.eu/108.0.html#c400 that lets you navigate within tables with the arrow keys. (Unfortunately, currently only the german site is online.)
