can't cycle through windows

Post by danfeder »

Here's an annoying problem I just noticed - I can no longer cycle through windows with command+`. I don't see it anywhere in the window menu or the menu keys preferences. Using NWE 2.0. I'm almost positive I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to OS X 3.5. I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious, but maybe someone else has had it as well.

one more thing...

Hmm, just noticed that command+` is actually mapped to the "normal" style in the format menu. When did that happen?

Actually, that happened in 2.0. Some people have had difficulty changing the shortcut. I hope Nisus will consider setting a different default for that in future releases.

Um, does that mean it actually is possible to change? I still don't see how.

Thanks

Yeah, you should be able to.

1. Click the Nisus Writer Express menu > Preferences.

2. Click the New Document icon.

3. Click the Advanced tab.

4. Click the Edit File button.

5. Click the View menu > Style Sheet.

6. Scroll down to locate "Normal" under Paragraph Styles.

7. Click in the box next to Shortcut.

8. Press the shortcut key combination you prefer.

9. Switch back to Page or Draft view (under the View menu).

10. Save the template (File > Save) and close it.

Documents you create after that point should respond to the new key combination. You can change older 2.x documents by opening them and following steps 5 through 10.

I don't guarantee this will work because others have had problems, and occasionally so have I. I've also experienced some weird results after modifying my Nisus New File.dot. But I hope this works for you.

Yep, that worked fine for me. Suppose I should have figured that out on my own. Thanks a lot!

Hi:

This will be fixed in the default stylesheet for the next release.
