Publisher does not recognizes numeric keyboard numbers

[Daniel Gibert]

Trying to assign keyboard shortcuts to my character styles, I've discovered that the numeric keyboard input is interpreted as regular numbers. This has been checked against different keyboards (apple and 3rd party)

This greatly reduces the availability of keyboard shortcuts to use with styles, as most of numbers are already assigned to other functions, specially on command+number combinations. Command+numeric keyboard is a great way to arrange shortcuts for styles.

If this is not a bug, I suggest to allow Publisher to detect the difference between the two types of numbers, as is the case on InDesign, where numeric keyboard numbers are identified as such. (I know, i know, comparisons are not the point here, but…)

I asked for this 3 years ago…

Still hoping it happens.

@Daniel Gibert I agree with this, and for the very same reason: assigning shortcuts to styles.

Yes I asked about this awhile back too.
