Is it possible to switch keyboard commands for text only?


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to switch keyboard commands for text only? I have a feeling the answer is no  . . .

Is it possible to take Command +V for "Paste" and assign it to "Paste without Format" and vice-versa? Or is this a general action that applies to everything rather than being contextual? To me it is a more useable than the existing setup . . .

Hello @kanihoncho,

basically you can reassign different shortcuts to the commands 'Copy' and 'Paste'. I just tried in APub to make sure it works. Perhaps you have to play around a little to make sure it really works becaus CTRL+V is such a common command that it may be confusing to see it behaving different.

Yes, you can easily do that. So for instance in AD set the first Shortcuts item to "Designer" & the second one to "Edit." You should see a long list of all the possible shortcuts on the Edit menu, arranged in the same order as in that menu:

So you can just swap out the shortcuts for those two items to whatever you want, & as long as they do not conflict with any other shortcuts (as indicated by a warning triangle) they should worj=k fine.

But the request was to make that change for text only

That's not possible.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that using Paste Without Format to paste a non-text object would cause any problems.
