Getting Pages to cooperate with the keyboard page up and page down buttons
For giggles I decided to try this out with Keyboard Maestro (I don't use Pages for text documents, so I've never had issue with the PgUp/Down buttons). Keyboard Maestro costs almost half of what QuicKeys costs ($36 vs $59.95). ---

even cheaper solution...
You can obtain the same functionality using the donationware Spark shortcut tool.
Just add a shortcut for Pages that triggers the following Applescript: activate application "Pages" tell application "System Events" try tell process "Pages" repeat with thewin in windows if subrole of thewin is "AXStandardWindow" then click button 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of thewin exit repeat end if end repeat end tell end try end tellthis is the code for page down, replace button 1 with button 2 for page up. The strange repeat loop is needed because applescript detects also floating windows, and they are detected before regolar ones; so, as we cannot know how may palettes (inspector, font, colors, etc.) are open, the script browses all the windows till it finds the first one that is a regular one (it will be the frontmost open document). Hope this helps. |
