Ender Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Anyone know a keyboard shortcut to engage the Format Painter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I don't see and can't find a Menu command key, don't know if there is one (sort of doubt it, anyone?). But since you're on a Mac, you can assign one. System Preferences, Keyboard & Mouse, Keyboard Shortcuts tab. You can create application-specific ones for FileMaker. Watch out for conflicts with other key commands (there's a lot in OS X). I like Control-Command- P. You may have to Quit FileMaker and start again. This has been available via 3rd-party extensions/applications before, but now it's built-in and easy. I imagine there is something similar on Windows? Another little trick you probably know is to hit the Enter key to toggle back to the last-used tool. Lets you use Format Painter over and over. I never use it, can't remember it's there; but maybe I will now -) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 Thanks Fenton. The System Prefs-Keyboard Shotcuts worked great. And the Enter key trick is very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Evil Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'm wondering what it is too!!! I know it exist, cause I have done it accidently several times. But for the life of me can not figure out what I did. The mac systems pref is a good fix, but I know there is a native keyboard shortcut. Anyone figure this one out??? It would be such a sweet time saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
