Create keyboard shortcuts for 'dotted' menu items
Oct 12, '04 09:48:00AM • Contributed by: digiglyphics
I was trying to add shortcut (Shift-Command-S) to the Address Book menu titled "Send This Card...". The command never worked until I opened the "Character Palette" (using a tip from a previous hint) and inserted a "Horizontal Ellipsis" from the "Punctuation" tab. Previously I had used three periods instead of a "Horizontal Ellipsis" when I filled out the "Menu Title" for the shortcut in the Keyboard Shortcuts system preference. They looked the same, but are obviously different.
An easy solution for adding shortcuts to menu items ending with "...".
[robg adds: I thought we had run something on this issue before, but I can't find it. If you do happen to find a similar hint, please let me know and I'll resolve the duplicate issue.]
