Is there a way to print out the Hot Key list?

[Rick Maedler]

I need a "cheat sheet" I can conveniently refer to.

How to print the hot key list?

[pottster]

The default hot keys are listed in the MLO user guide available from the website at https://www.mylifeorganized.net/support.shtml#windows

If you have customized any of the hotkeys the amended list is found within the app at Tools/Options/General Applications Options/Hotkeys. This list is in a scrolling window so you would need to use a screen capture tool like SnagIt or FastStone Capture to capture the full list via autoscroll since normal text selection methods don't work.

Good luck!

Here's a list I created. It's a little incomplete, at little out of date and it include changes I made to some of the hotkey settings.

It doesn't have recent additions like Alt-Z (expand/collapse properties pane), Alt-Q (toggle Markdown note formatting) and Ctrl-i (insert a tab character at the cursor position).

Still, it may be a useful starting point for you.

I notice in the spreadsheet you break out the same modifier key with key combinations more than once and label them as part of either a "Hotkey" or "Shortcut keys" set. You have a column to note that some shorcut keys are "Superseded by hotkey setting". I'm not sure I understand this duality.

Hello zel...

I produced this a while ago, but I think I took the shortcut keys list from the MLO manual (list of "hot keys"), whereas the hotkey list I took from the Tools-Options-Hotkeys menu in MLO itself.  A lot of the configurable hotkeys in the options list overwrite the default shortcut keys, but not all of them do. So, in column H you can look at the default values for the ones which get overwritten or you can filter out all the default ones which are overwritten by your personal hotkey settings.

The Line No. (column B) tells you what order these are listed in the hotkey settings list and the shortcut key helpfile list, so you can re-sort the Excel list to match.

Hope that helps and doesn't add to the confusion. Remember, though, this might not exactly match the current lists in MLO options and the help-file, as I produced this quite a long time ago.

Thanks for the reply. In looking at your modifier key and key combination list, I saw Ctrl+Shift+@. How do you get @ on a Windows keyboard?

[Stéph]

On a UK keyboard, @ is Shift-'  (hence Ctrl-Shift-' is also Ctrl-Shift-@). It's on the right of the keyboard, between ; and #. I think the symbols layout is different on US and other keyboards.

As most of my categories (GTD contexts) start with an @ symbol, as you've no doubt spotted, the use of the @ key helps me to remember this hotkey.

The other thing I've tried to do with my customisations is make the key combinations a little more consistent.  I try to use Alt-Shift for for hotkeys which edit task parameters, but Ctrl-Alt for any hotkeys used to navigate or change my view.  Again, this level of consistency helps me to remember my hotkey combinations.
