Customize keyboard shortcuts

[AVI_TJOR]

Hi, is it possible to customize keyboard shortcuts in FM? I want to assign a keyboard shortcut for Paste Special > Text.

Is there any way I could do it?

In the UNIX version, you could define a macro and bind a keyboard shortcut to it.

In other versions, I'd suggest a third-party (probably system tray) app that does keyboard macros, and set it to fire the sequence:

Alt+E, S, T, Enter

or

Ctrl+Shift+V, T, Enter

Finally, I think if you did some digging, you could find out a way to add a new menu item with an associated accellerator key to fire the 'Paste as Text' (whatever it's actually called) event. Then, it would be only a couple of (Alt) keyboard strokes--almost as good. Unfortunately, I haven't messed with menu.cfg (in ../fminit/maker/) in years, and so I'd have to do some hunting to find all of the available commands.

Sorry I can't be of more help;

You know that you can change the default Paste command to do a Text paste by modifying your maker.ini file?

No I sure did not!!!! Jeff - which of the 6,000 lines do I change?? I NEED TO DO THIS!!!!!

Re-arrange this line so that "TEXT" comes first, e.g.

ClipboardFormatsPriorities=TEXT, UNICODE TEXT, FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF,  DIB, BMP
