How do I customise my keyboard shortcuts in Quark 4.1?

[mistercitizen]

I've looked in prefs and can't seem to find it.

Any ideas?

Also, is there a way of switching between tools without having to click on the toolba each time?

ie. keys that switch tools, as per Illustrator or Photoshop?

Thanks!

re your second query - no real shortcuts that I know of, but you can tab up through the tool bar with shift option apple tab (ie from pic box to text box tool), and down with option apple tab...

Thanks Biscerboy - your tip works, but you obviously have to remove your hand from the mouse to do those sort of 3 and 4 button commands.

Any alternatives?

Just a couple of tricks:
OPT SHFT CMD < or > while on either text or an image will resize it- Text will go up one point and images will resize 5%

While on the "hand(content) or 4sided arrow(item)" tool, you can hold down option and move through a document

If you are on a box (Text or image) and you want to move the entire box, you can hold down cmd while on the hand tool, it changes to the hand to the arrow until you release the cmd.
There are a ton more- 5% requires a mouse for ease. The rest can be done through the keyboard. if your operating system allows.
IE: Running OSX F11 is show desktop. Quark is show style sheets. The OS wins with shortcuts, and quark loses
