Keyboard Shortcuts in Word

[Charles Aschmann]

I am posting this on behalf of Michael Beijer, who is having some
trouble with this list and cannot seem to post.

1. Is there a way to add a keyboard shortcut for a Felix action in Word?
There is a keyboard shortcut dialog under Felix Preferences in the
Add-In tab in Word, but there seems to be no function for adding to
these commands, only for changing the ones that exist. Michael wants to
add a keyboard shortcut for toggling between Translation and Review modes.

2. In this same vein, has anyone figured out another way of creating
such a shortcut? I tried creating a Word macro using the macro recording
in Word, but it does not seem to be able to do anything on the Add-in
menu (macro comes out blank after recording).

Thanks.

Thanks for forwarding this, Charles. Google took away ownership of this group, and there's apparently no way for me to get it back. So I don't have access to the list management or post approval tools.

Unfortunately, there's no shortcut for this right now.

It's nearly impossible to do this in modern versions of Word, because of the way the ribbon works.

It wouldn't be impossible to add a shortcut for this, though. Let me go through the code a little. In the meantime, I'll add a bug for this in the repository.

Thanks for the confirmation Ryan. It means less head banging against the
wall of MS Word.
