Text styles: shortcut assigned but not working

[Wosven]

Hi,

 

I can assign shortcut to paragraph and character styles, and they are correctly displayed, but they are ineffective. Those use the numeric pad, and the control key, so it's easy to do and remember.

Examples of shortcut:

• ctrl + 1 (num. pad)
• ctrl + alt + 1 (num. pad)
• ctrl + shift + 1 (num. pad)
• ctrl + alt + shift + 1 (num. pad)
• alt + shift + 1 (num. pad)

It looks more, to me, like Publisher does not distinguish between the numeric keypad keys and the other keys. When I assign a short using Ctrl + 1, whether numeric keypad or not, it just shows up as Ctrl + 1 and that's a zoom shortcut by default.

One additional oddity: Ctrl and the + sign on the number pad shows up as the shortcut Ctrl+= rather than Ctrl++ as I would have expected. I think that's additional evidence that Publisher is treating the keys in the number pad the same as the ones on the regular keyboard.

Edit: Also, the process of assigning shortcuts to Text Styles does not give any warning of the shortcut conflict, unlike how the Preferences dialog for keyboard shortcuts works.

I noticed this on the previous version, and disabled those shortcuts, but ctrl+x wasn't more effective to apply Text style.

On a second thought, you're right that APub should distinguish those keys. From memory, QXD and ID display an indication that it's the numeric pad keys.
