Visually, it doesn't do anything special. It looks like a text field. One special behavior is that, once you hit a key, focus is automatically moved to the next focusable view. That's probably so you don't accidentally change the key equivalent you just assigned by typing another keystroke meant for something else. And maybe so you don't get trapped there if you're only using keyboard and no pointing device. Speaking of tabbing to controls, you can get to the Key Equivalent field by tabbing from the previous field. For a menu item, put focus in the Title field and then Tab. Focus will be in the Key Equivalent field and you can type a keystroke to set it. For a button, the previous field is the Sound field. Etc. Clearing the key equivalent just via keyboard doesn't seem possible, unfortunately. Regards, Ken _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
