Keyboard Shortcut for File/Export Settings
Keyboard Shortcut for File/Export Settings
I am perplexed why there is no keyboard shortcut for File/Export Settings, as it is something I am constantly opening and have to check every time I export a font.
It would be EXTREMELY helpful to have a keyboard shortcut for this and would save so much time.

Do let us know which shortcut you suggest and we'll consider it for a future release.

Alt+F, E works pretty well.
Ctrl+Shift+S might be suitable and does not seem to be in use.

If the keyboard shortcuts could be made customisable it would enable users to assigned whatever they wish — whatever best suits their workflow.

That is true!

We've looked into this, but it was not feasible.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 10:59 pm If the keyboard shortcuts could be made customisable it would enable users to assigned whatever they wish — whatever best suits their workflow.

So it is, but it's not listed in Help.

I'll update the manual.

Re: Keyboard Shortcut for File/Export Settings
How about Ctrl + D? That's a good one.

Re: Keyboard Shortcut for File/Export Settings
Ctrl + E would be a lot better, but that would require a change of the shortcut for Paste Special to Ctrl + Shift + V. Although that makes better logical sense, changing shortcuts is risky as it may annoy any users who frequently use Paste Special.
Re: Keyboard Shortcut for File/Export Settings
Is there a reason why there are two different shortcuts for Paste Special? I just noticed there is Ctrl + Alt + V (the most intuitive) for 'working in the Font Overview window' and Ctrl + E for general. Can't it be the same for both?Bhikkhu Pesala wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 9:08 pm Ctrl + E would be a lot better, but that would require a change of the shortcut for Paste Special to Ctrl + Shift + V.

Re: Keyboard Shortcut for File/Export Settings
Interesting. Ctrl + E does nothing for me, perhaps it is a legacy shortcut that was replaced with Ctrl + Alt + V then not removed from Help.
If so, then Ctrl + E would be great for Export Settings.

Re: Keyboard Shortcut for File/Export Settings
Yes, it looks like it was some legacy in the manual. In the next upcoming release Ctrl + E will be used to show the Export Settings dialog.
