Hello List,
I've been using oXygen for a couple of years but mainly for text
encoding, I don't really take advantage of the more advanced
functionality. I apologize for this newbie question and I hope the
answer is simple.
I would really like to create shortcuts for some characters from the
character map. There are three that I use often and it's a pain to
have to cut and paste or use the character map every time I want to
stick one in. I figured out how to set the menu shortcut keys and I
was able to create a shortcut to bring up the c.m. but what I really
want are shortcuts to insert the letters themselves. Any suggestions?
Hi Dot,
What I use is 'Code Templates'. For example you create a template called
'thorn' which has the content of:
รพ${caret}
(or the unicode character reference if you want), and then start typing th and
then hit control-space.
Do similar with THORN (for capital), yogh/YOGH, etc. I suppose I could actually
export these code templates and give them to you, but it is just really as easy
for you to create them yourself if think.[1]
