Henry Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Does any one can recommend some plugin that can perform keyboard shortcut, just like press a key to perform a script. Thank you Regards, Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 If you can upgrade to Filemaker 8 Advanced, you can have custom menus and keyboard shortcuts for your scripts. Otherwise, you can use Dacons Menu control or Menu Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 The shortcuts for FM is using 2 keys. For example "Ctrl + 1". Currently what i need is just press one key. Press "1" to perform a script. Regards, Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaa Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 At this case how you can put "1" to your text field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 that one is just my example. Actually i want to use it for function key (F1...F12) and some other character like "=" or "-". It is useful for some system like Point of Sale. Regards, Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I don't know about FM8A, since I don't have it yet, but I know that you can use dacons menu control to set function keys as shortcuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) Well, not really. Neither Dacons Menu Control nor Secure Menu work with v8 as yet. Neither vendor will commit to a time frame, given how complicated custom menus are. And Filemaker's attempt IMHO is pretty close to useless.

Reed Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Other than the Exit command being not removable, is there anything else bad about FM8A menus? I can live with that problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMDuck Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I've spoken to a number of plug-in developers about this. More people need to speak up and request this tool. It's one that I just don't understand why it doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
After Hours Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) QuickKeys on the Mac is handy for this, as well as iKey. I imagine there is something similar for Windows. I have a little more info here: Link Edited September 20, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
