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

Mon Mar 18 09:48:24 PDT 2013

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
        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.
