Shortcut keys not working.

Can anyone help with this one please.

In LT2002 the shortcut keys CTRL+1 no longer works to pop-up the properties window.

Also, CRTL C now cancels, instead of copying to clipboard.

I have chosen Windows Standard Accelerator Keys in Config, but it doesn't have any effect.

Thanks.

The accelerator settings are kept in the aclt.mnu and aclt.mns file under your ACADLT\support\ folder. You can edit them with Notepad.

Thanks BU, however, this is an extract of the MNU file:

// Keyboard Accelerators
***ACCELERATORS
ID_Copyclip [TOOLBAR+CONTROL+"C"]

This suggests to me that it is already set up. Or am I in the wrong section of the MNU?

Ta.

Maybe try and doublecheck the .mns file. It is the compiled version of the mnu file. Also (this may just be a typo) but our LT stations have:

ID_Copyclip [CONTROL+TOOLBAR+"C"]

instead of

ID_Copyclip [TOOLBAR+CONTROL+"C"]

Cheers BU!

I updated the MNU to be CONTROL+TOOLBAR instead of TOOLBAR+CONTROL, then recompiled the menus. Bingo!

Don't know how the menu got the text swapped round but never mind, it all works now.

Thanks again.

How odd.

Updating the MNU restored the shortcuts, but then I started removing and adding toolbar buttons to just leave the ones I use, and it's happened again. No CTRL shortcuts.

I will keep trying.
