Arrow-key Toolbox Navigation in AC9 - WHAT happened??

Anonymous — Wed, 15 Dec 2004 23:37:52 GMT

Can ANYONE here figure out how to get back control of the toolbox with the arrow keys (i.e. - right arrow -> cursor, up arrow -> go up in toolbox, etc..)? I'd HEARD that you're supposed to be able to do this in AC9 - but am completely unable to figure out HOW. Anybody know ANYTHING about this??

Greatly Appreciated.

The following screen capture was made in the Work Environment Dialog.
In Keyboard Shortcuts, list commands by theme. In group 12 (12 Actions) you will find these four actions and you can assign keyboard shortcuts to them.

Wow... thanks. I'm surprised!! I spend a good amount of time yesterday looking for something like that. GS seems to be burying the command deeper and deeper with each version it seems!

It's funny that such an innocuous little function could be so useful/addictive!

Thanks again

You are welcome.
It is actually worth scanning through all these various actions, because now there are many that you can assign keyboard shortcuts to.
