Keyboard Shortcuts

Post by mtd91429 »

I've only used the software for a short time and really enjoy the customizability. However, something I'd really like to do while reading documents (and have not been able to figure out how to on the current software version) is use keyboard shortcuts to quickly evoke various and regularly used functions. For example, I underline and highlight quite frequently - it would be awesome to be able to select a line of text and subsequently use a key stroke to highlight that phrase (then, I could program my mouse's additional buttons to perform those keystokes and save even more time...). The option to customize these parameters (allow me to chose the key combination to assign to the various functions) would be even better. If these options are available and I didn't figure them out, my apologies; directions to implement them would be appreciated. If they're not available, could these please be added to a 'wish list' for future upgrades?

Thanks!
