I can´t apply any Shortkey to textstyles

[TVK]

In text-styles it is possible to set a shortkey like ALT+1 to get a styles by simply pressing a keycombination.
What ever i choose (ALT+0 or ALT+7 ....), it doesn´t work and STRG+... can´t be choose. What can i do?

For the digits (0, 7, etc.) are you using the standard number keys on the keyboard, or the numeric keypad?

The standard number keys work for me.

Thank´s for your question. If i define the short keys on the keyboard numbers it works on both ways on the standard number keys and on the numeric keypad.

But it´s a bad mistake in the program i think.

To be sure I understand you: If you define the shortcut using the standard keyboard numbers, the shortcut works using the standard numbers or the numeric keypad. But if you define using the numeric keypad, the shortcut doesn't work at all?

If so, I think that may be related to other numeric keypad issues with shortcuts, but I will have to try looking to see if I can find them.

I do know that in the 2.2 beta they fixed a bug, such that + and - are now treated differently from Numpad+ and Numpad- and that has affected some users.

Hi @TVK,

Thanks for your report!

I can confirm that I am able to replicate the above in the retail version, when assigning using the top number row the shortcut works with either set of numerical keys - when assigning using the Numpad neither set will invoke the shortcut.

However as Walt has mentioned, a separate issue has been addressed in the latest 2.2 beta, though testing this specific issue above it appears as though this is still present even in the beta currently.

Therefore I will be logging this with our development team now, to be addressed in a future update.

Please do note however that when using ALT + Numpad with a text object selected, you will invoke ALT key codes for entering glyphs. For example ALT + Numpad  3 - 6 will enter the 4 suit glyphs for a deck of cards, overwriting any text you have entered - so I would not recommend using the ALT + Numpad combination for these styles:

I hope this helps
