When asking for free help with a problem, you need to be respectful of others' time. So you've made rather a bad start with this topic because you're making
me search for
your 10-day-old post. When you are referencing another topic, you should put a link to it in your post. I had to search the forum to find your post, which takes several minutes of my time as I try to guess which one you're asking about. Links are created using the URL button. Read the
Survival Guide for other details about forum etiquette and forum usage. If you're really interested in learning how to effectively utilize support forums like this one, read
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. Fortunately for you, I happen to have a bit of free time tonight to search for your post. Otherwise I would have just ignored this topic because you're asking me to do work that you should be doing yourself and this makes you appear lazy and not worth my time. Before posting, be sure to take some time and think about how your post will appear to the volunteers. The second link I just provided explains why this is extremely important. Read it and then look at this topic to see how it will be perceived.
If you're asking about your post in
Custom keyboard shortcuts don't work, part of the problem is that you have added a post to an old topic (hijacked the topic) instead of creating your own. As described in the Survival Guide, you must
very sure that you are having the same problem as the original poster before adding a post to another user's topic. I am pretty sure you are
not having the same problem, even though some of the symptoms are similar.
For your problem with ^T, read
[Solved] Assign Key for Macro on Mac OSX. This is a Mac-specific implementation issue, and the original question in "Custom keyboard shortcuts don't work" is from a Windows user, so I'm almost certain that your situation is different.
I see now that you have also made a duplicate post of your ^T question in
[Solved] How to create custom shortcut keys using macro. You've made two mistakes there: "Don't multi-post" (from the Survival Guide) and posting a new question in a [Solved] topic (which is likely to be ignored because the problem is solved). I understand that you may be new to the forum, but that is no excuse for not reading the Survival Guide where these issues are discussed.
If this answered your question please go to your
first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the title. You can select the green checkmark icon at the same time. You should also go to
both of the topics that you hijacked and add some explanation there about what was wrong and how you resolved the issue.
