Keyboard Shortcuts

[dannac]

Can I customize the keyboard shortcuts ?

If yes ... is there a tutorial showing how, as I looked at the dialog box and do not see how to make changes.

Thank you ... I was looking at wrong section.

Is it possible to set a keyboard shortcut that would insert a string of characters into my text?

I use some HTML characters quite often (for example ­ ) and it would be great to have them on shift-F11 or something similar.

Thank you very much

I'm sorry, there is no way to do this.

[heynen]

Thank you for your fast answer!

Additional question:Is it possible to create a shortcut that would change a text paragraph to a certain font?
In my case, I use Lato Italics very often. I would like to have a shortcut that changes the text to that font.

The CMD-I key does not work for my purpose. It does set the text in italics, but does not use the optimal way to do it: It would be to change the text from "Lato" to "Lato Italics". Lato Italics is a font on its own. Often,font designers develop an own design for italics, where some characters have a completely different design. They are not just an inclined version of the normal font.

Maybe this could be a general improvement in WWB: If there is a special "italics" version of a font, the program could use that, instead of just an inclined version of the characters.

"Keyboard shortcuts" is standard User Interface functionality. It applies to standard menu commands. It cannot be used to create macro-like functionality.

[heynen]

Ok, thank you!

So, two suggestions for improvements of the program:

1) If there is a special "italics" or "bold" version of a font, the program should use that when "italics" or "bold" is switched on. At the moment, the program creates its own italics or bold version: The program inclines or broadens the characters, but the result does not look optimal.

2) At the moment, when bullet points are used, you cannot use text formatting in the same paragraph: The program switches to "use <p> tags", and with this setting, italics, text highlight colour and other formats do not work.

If you want, I can upload some examples.

Thank you very much in advance.

The software uses the standard text editor component of Window (richedit) .
Unfortunately, the requested functionality is not supported by this editor.

[heynen]

Thank you, understood. Did not know that.

It seems that this problem is even quite widespread: I have just spoken to a graphics designer. He told me that many text editors, when STRG-I is pressed, only incline the letters, instead of using the real italics version of a font.

Still, I am searching for a solution for this problem:

At the moment, when bullet points are used, you cannot use text formatting in the same paragraph: The program switches to "use <p> tags", and with this setting, italics, text highlight colour and other formats do not work.

So, how can I use italics in a paragraph with a bullet point?

[Pablo]

Sorry, I have no control over this.

[heynen]

Is there a HTML code that I can use so that a paragraph allows both:

a) Use of bullet points
b) Use of words in italics / bold etc?

Thank you

[Pablo]

Did you consider using the 'Bulleted list' object?

[heynen]

Bingo!

Thank you very much. That works perfectly. Size of bullet points also fits better, plus the distance between bullet points and text can be defined. Thanks!

For everyone else needing this solution: I used the following settings
a) Include in-line height in text styles
b) Use classic html output.
I then used a text style that I had predefined (selected it in the "bulleted list" settings) and afterwards changed some words from "Lato" to "Lato Italics".

[heynen]

One more question regarding "bulleted list":

I want to use the following code (it would normally display an upwards pointing arrow):

Code: Select all

<i class="material-icons" style="font-size: 15px">call_made</i>

Is it possible to activate that code inside the bulleted list?

[Pablo]

The bulleted list does not support this.
However, you can do the same with a standard table and fontawesome icon. Where the first column is for the icon and the second for text.

Thanks, cool, great idea!
