how to change or disable keyboard shortcuts

Is it possible to change or just disable some Captivate keyboard shortcuts? In particular, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S and Ctrl+Alt+L ? In general in Windows the Ctrl+Alt is used for language specific characters. It is rather counterproductive to copy paste all text through Notepad in order to have language specific characters in Captivate text.

    In Adobe Captivate 9 (and earlier) there is still NO WAY to change Application Keyboard Shortcuts. (You can change Recording shortcuts in Preferences).

    This is particularly frustrating (for me) because of the Command Y shortcut for Redo (very Microsoft / Macromedia like). I am an advanced Adobe user (and instructor) — when I encounter a shortcut that isn't "standard" (for Adobe products) I usually go to Edit > Keyboard shortcuts and change the Redo shortcut to Command Shift Y (like all the other Adobe applications I use: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Animate, Muse, etc.). This is NOT an OPTION in Captivate. STILL

    As Rick suggested above, I can send in a feature request or bug report, using the link below. I suggest anyone who reads this thread does the same.

    Hi all

    For anyone that would like to see this change. Perhaps by allowing us to configure our own shortcuts and change what is offered, you should consider submitting a Wish Form to ask Adobe for a behavior change in a future version. When you submit a Wish Form it's like casting a voting ballot. Adobe gauges desirability by looking at how many folks are "voting" for a specific feature. If enough folks ask for it, eventually it happens.

    Cheers.,. Rick

    Hi Rick,

    You are so right, but it seems that customisation is something that is being avoided for everything in Captivate. Have been pleading since long to be able to customize toolbars, menus, and in CP6 smart shapes, custom color palette, snippets on smart shapes... AFAIK only customisable features are keyboard shortcuts for Recording and the workspaces (but limited in functionality, floating panels are not supported etc).

    Feeling very down about that today,


    Lieve
