How to include ALT in a shortcut key combination
#1
Hi all,

I have noticed that it seems to be difficult to include ALT in shortcut key combinations for a lot of apps.

I want to create shortcuts to apply formatting styles in a Web developer environment. So since I am used to using MS Word, and in Word the shortcut for, e.g., apply Heading 1 is CTRL+ALT+1, I want to be able to mimic that shortcut also for Web dev apps.

The particular app I am working is Visual Express 2008 Web Developer, and I see that defining CTRL+ALT+1 has no effect. How can I use ALT?

Tia,

if you put

Code:
Copy      Help
CA1

in your trigger of the macro, it should run just fine.
to debug you can put in something like
Macro
Code:
Copy      Help
out "It worked"

and check the QM Editor to see if it worked. sometimes macros trigger but don't execute the code the way we think.
