Paragraph Designer Shortcut Key

[Callie Bertsche]

Thanks for all the replies!

I played with the customization files, no luck yet, I'll definitely play
with them more later when I have more time. It's true, Fred, for now
I'll stick with Alt+o,p,d which for me is actually Alt+o,p....if I add
the 'd' I get the description paragraph tag.

 

I think it's likely that you're right, Fred, and another program is
intercepting the Ctrl+M. My Outlook and Word, off the top, both have
Ctrl+M shortcuts. But those shortcut executions do not happen when I am
in a FM document, so to me it seems like that shortcut should be free
for FM. I guess not?

 

Cheers,

Callie

Windows Control-key shortcuts are defined in a configuration file called
wincmd.cfg, which is located in the fminit\configui folder within your  
FrameMaker installation directory. There is no way to set or change
these
shortcuts from the GUI, so unless you have modified the wincmd.cfg file,
some other application or utility must be intercepting the Ctrl+M key 
combination before FrameMaker ever sees it.  Do you have a screenshot 
utility installed?  A macro utility?  A keyboard mapping utility?  Are
you 
using any Windows accessibility features?  Any of those are likely
culprits
for intercepting certain Control-key commands before regular
applications
have a chance to act on them.  
 
But even if you don't track down what's intercepting Ctrl+M, you should 
still be able to use the Alt, o, p, d key sequence.  Not as convenient
as
Ctrl+M, but at least you don't have to reach for the mouse.
