Windows 7, OO 4.1.3
I'm hoping to create a couple of shortcut keys or hotkeys (ctrl + x) for two functions that are not shown when I go to Tools > Customize > Keyboard - Functions - Category > Edit. The functions which are in edit but not shown here are Edit > Changes > Record and Edit > Changes > Show. Is it possible to create these shortcuts somehow? I flip back and forth between these options all day long in my editing work, and it would be great if I could create a couple of hotkeys to speed things along. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Ctrl+X is reserved to cut

Re: Create shortcut key for function not shown
Those menu options are available, though not labeled as one might expect. In the Tools -> Customize menu Edit -> Record corresponds to Edit -> Changes -> Record and View -> Show corresponds to Edit -> Changes -> Show.

Thanks, but I just meant that as an example, I'll figure out what hotkeys are available when I figure out how to link the functions I need.Mr.Dandy wrote:Ctrl+X is reserved to cut

Re: Create shortcut key for function not shown
Thanks for your help on this, but in Customize > Keyboard - functions - Category > Edit and then Function list the closest I come is a "Record" option. Unfortunately, there is no "Record and View" and there is no "Show" among the list of functions. I think we're looking in the same place, so I'm not sure how to account for this.

The Record Changes is located in the category 'Edit',Category > Edit and then Function list the closest I come is a "Record" option. Unfortunately,there is no "Record and View" and there is no "Show" among the list of functions.
but the Show Changes is located in the category 'View'.
I am using LibreOffice 4.4.7.

Re: Create shortcut key for function not shown
The Record function you found toggles the Changes -> Record function that you want. To assign a hot key for Changes -> Show, set the Category to View (not Edit) and the Function is Show. See the attached image.

The different version (I'm using OO 4.1.3) explains the discrepancy. I was able to find these shortcuts with the help from FJCC. Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated.
