I am importing relevant quantities of aliases and it would be really useful to have a simple shortcut.
You can add a keyboard shortcut to any menu item using the “Keyboard” pane of System Preferences.
All the best,
Keith
Do you mean the Mac System preferences, right?
I opened the Keyboard Pref, but I found nothing I could use to change something in a specific application as Scrivener. Perhaps I did not understand what you meant…
Many thanks for you help.
By the way, there is also something else I find quite annoying: when I am writing or editing a text on the Corkboard, every time I go next line I must remember to click option and return together, because the Enter key is set to end the operation. Do you think there is a way to avoid this (besides writing somewhere else and then pasting)?
Thanks again
Sorry, as this is a general OS X feature I didn’t go into detail, but I should have seeing as many users don’t know about it. Here’s an article on our knowledge base that explains how to do this (it works with any Cocoa app):
scrivener.tenderapp.com/help/kb … er-for-mac
The corkboard works this way because this is the standard way for OS X controls to behave, so it is abiding by standard UI conventions. You can override this behaviour, though, by turning off “Return key: ends editing synopsis in corkboard and outliner” in Scrivener’s “Navigation” preferences.
All the best,
Keith
Done! Both of them!
I found out that Scrivener did not appear in the Application List (to add/change shortcuts) because it was inside a Scrivener folder. I suppose I should avoid placing applications into folders…
Thanks a lot, really: when you spend an indecent and unhealthy number of hours in front of a monitor, all ‘little’ things count. I am quite new to Scrivener and I am using it for my PhD research. So far it seems an effective multipurpose platform, even if it requires a bit of time to understand both its ‘spirit’ and its functions.
Besides the manual, I am also consulting ‘Take Control of Scrivener 2’, but any general advice you might have would be very appreciated.
