 | Assign a keyboard shortcut to a symbol |
You can assign a keyboard shortcut to quickly insert a symbol that you use frequently. For example, if you use the telephone symbol from the Zapf Dingbats font ( ), you can assign that symbol a keyboard shortcut (for example,
COMMAND+OPTION+SHIFT+T).
-
On the Insert menu, click Symbol.
-
Click the tab with the symbol or special character that you want.
If necessary, select a font on the Font pop-up menu.
-
Click the symbol or character that you want.
-
Click Keyboard Shortcut.
-
In the Press new keyboard shortcut box, type the key combination that you want to use.
Notes -
A message below the Press new keyboard shortcut box describes any action currently assigned to that key combination. The key combination that you typed will replace the current key assignment.
-
If the key combination you enter does not appear in the Press new keyboard shortcut box, that key combination is not valid. Valid key combinations must include at least one modified key (for example, ⌘ or SHIFT) or a Function key (for example, F7).
-
To cancel the keyboard shortcut assignment, press Escape.
-
-
Click Assign.
