Hotkey to leave WP...

[Peter Zevenaar]

Is there a hotkey to exit WP? Ctrl-F4 only closes the current document.
Thanks in advance,
Peter...

Peter:

There isn't a default shortcut for exit; however, you can assign Exit
WordPerfect to a hot key of your choice:

1 -- Choose Tools | Settings | Customize | Keyboards (tab)

2 -- In the Available Keyboards list, choose the keyboard you use as your
default, then choose Edit

3 -- In the Choose a Shortcut Key list, choose the key strokes you want to
use as a shortcut to Exit WordPerfect

3 -- In the Feature Categories list, choose File

4 -- In the Assign a Feature to the Shortcut Key list, choose Exit
WordPerfect, and click Assign Feature to Key

5 -- Close out of all dialogs, saving the changes as you go.

BTW: I think Alt+F4_is_the default key combination for closing the app. I
didn't really have to select the keycombination, but I did have to add it to
the keyboard. In Paradox Alt+F4 does the same.
Best regards,
Peter...

Peter as you say ALT+F4 IS the exit applictaion keystroke - it has worked
for me for every windows version of WP from 6 to 9 (SP4) so I'm not sure why
you would have had to re-assign it....

Ahh, that explains it, so that's what happened, it was already
assigned.....and I extra-over-re-assigned it :-)

1 -- You may have been using the DOS keyboard which, by default, uses Alt+F4 to
turn on Select.

2 -- You may have inadvertantly removed the default Alt-F4 Exit from your CUA
keyboard.

3 -- The keyboard file may have become corrupted and dropped the Alt+F4 Exit
assignment by itself (my keyboards in WP6.1, 7, 8, and 9 have all become
corrupted in the past necessitating rebuilding my template keyboards--I use the
DOS keyboard, but I assume that CUA keyboards may get corrupted too).

4 -- Who knows why it didn't work before, but it does now? S--- happens

5 -- It's working now, right? So, where's the beef?

Hi Gerald,
Yes, it's working fine.....
Ok, perhaps my last message was rather trivial :-)

> So, where's the beef?

Hmm, with my Dutch brain I'm not sure what you mean by this...
Regards,
Peter...
