Hi Derek, I tried that before when I first started doing Simplified Chinese type. It works, but it soon becomes a complete pain in the nether regions. There's also a couple of Simplified Chinese fonts that have perfectly good looking sans serif roman characters, so applying a character style selectively throughout the text just wasn't worth the effort.
Phil PS. And yes, I use an extended keyboard for the very reason of ID keyboard shortcuts, but why, oh why isn't the Apple bluetooth keyboard an extended one?
