Shortcut for Variable?

Hello

I created the custom text variable. I want here and there to put this text in the middle of a text.

Is there a way to create keyboard shortcut for "Insert?" variable

Thank you

Brings back memories of WordPerfect, which allow you to define all kinds of quick shortcuts. Here is a take on that. Two scripts: one to define keys, the other to use shortcuts.

// Select some text, then run this script. Enter a number between 0 and 9 inclusive.
// The script creates a custom text variable with the name 'QuickVar' followed by the number
// using the text selected in the document

if (app.selection.length > 0 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ('baseline')) {
  x = prompt ('Enter a number (0-9):', '0', 'Quick var');
  if (/^[0-9]$/.test(x)) {
    if (app.documents[0].textVariables.item('QuickVar'+x).isValid) {
      app.documents[0].textVariables.item('QuickVar'+x).variableOptions.contents = app.selection[0].contents;
    } else {
      app.documents[0].textVariables.add ({
        name: 'QuickVar'+x,
        variableType: VariableTypes.CUSTOM_TEXT_TYPE,
        variableOptions: {contents: app.selection[0].contents}
      });
    }
  }
}

To use the text with a shortcut key variable, save this script in your scripts folder, for example by using the name of the variable (but it can be any name), using the jsx file type: quickvar0.jsx

if (app.selection.length > 0 && app.selection[0] instanceof InsertionPoint) {
  app.selection[0].textVariableInstances.add ({associatedTextVariable: app.activeDocument.textVariables.item ('QuickVar0')});
}

(You might as well copy the script to quickvar1.jsx, quickvar2.jsx, etc.) Do not forget to change the name of the variable in the script.)

By pressing the key shortcut inserts the contents of the variable at the insertion point.

Accessibility: why is there no shortcut for Page Info in Windows?

On Linux and Mac, there is a keyboard shortcut for Page Info:
Linux: ctrl + I
Mac: cmd + I
but there is no shortcut for Windows relatives, we are forced to use a mouse. An extension should not be required for basic accessibility features.

I agree that a keyboard command to open the Info Page on the Windows of Firefox versions should be standard, but unfortunately {Ctrl + I} always open the bookmarks bar, which cam also open with {Ctrl + B}.

I have been using the extension of Page Info button to add this feature to Firefox since Firefox 1.0.

Another button that can be included is 'Font of Page', which activates / turns off page fonts between your colors and colors on the web page.

Y at - it a keyboard shortcut for switching windows?

I see that there is a keyboard shortcut for switching tabs in a window of Firefox, but I would also like one to switch between the windows of the browser. I guess it's easier on Windows, where each browser window kind of behaves as an application separate, but on the Mac OS, an application can have multiple windows. Thus, the operating system does not provide supported to switch between browser windows via a keyboard shortcut; It allows to switch between applications, which brings all of the windows in the application target forward.

To switch between using Firefox windows: Cmd (Shift) + ~ (Tilde)

How to create a shortcut for deleting the photos

Every time when I want to delete a photo from my library of Photos, I confirm that I want to delete this photo. It is exactly 1 click or hit on the keyboard too. I was looking to create a keyboard shortcut for this, but I can't find the "right" of the menu command name. I thought it was 'Delete 1 Photo' but the keyboard shortcuts in the system preferences panel, I cannot type anything in there. Anyone know?

Hi Finkler,

If you use a debugging feature! And no, there seems to be no assigned shortcut key.

When you need a VI with the possibility of "break" you should learn about state machines. They are a common system to integrate these 'States' as a 'Performance' or 'pause' in a VI (or the program in general)...
