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] -James [1] My favourite characters, and probably some of yours, are listed http://users.ox.ac.uk/~jamesc/characters.html -- Dr James Cummings, Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk
