Hi Jean-Philippe, Unfortunately is impossible to create application specific keystrokes which override keystrokes which are assigned through windows. The problem of finding keystrokes is a much bigger one than people think it is. I'm not joking when I say that Sibelius has 187 keystrokes which all do custom operations. That's Sibelius, not Sibelius Access, which adds a few more of its own. Just looking at the keystrokes for K alone we have: K = key signature SHIFT+K = Chord diagram CONTROL+K = Chord symbol CONTROL+SHIFT+K = change chord diagram ALT+CONTROL+K = keypad window So, if I changed the ALT+CONTROL keystrokes to SHIFT+CONTROL they'd clash with the ones in Sibelius. Besides which, you can bet money on the fact that someone out there will be using CONTROL+SHIFT keystrokes to launch applications. Unfortunately, Sibelius does not allow for keystrokes which use the Windows or Application keys, for that matter, you can't use these keystrokes for assigning windows shortcuts for applications either. In fact, JAWS is probably the only application I've seen that allows for the use of the windows key. So if we're looking for keystrokes that involve the letter K we've only got ALT+SHIFT+K and ALT+SHIFT+CONTROL+K left over and many users will want one of these for Kurzweil. It's important that understand that the keystroke in JAWS must be the same as the one in Sibelius. Even if it were possible to have two different keystrokes I wouldn't do it. It makes absolutely no sense to have different keystrokes. If you read a keystroke in a Sibelius menu, then the JAWS keystroke must be the same one. The one thing I can say is that the next version will allow you to change any of the Sibelius Access keystrokes. However, if you do this, then it is vital to change the keystroke in Sibelius as well. This means making two changes, one in the JAWS keyboard manager and one in the Sibelius preferences dialog. To be honest, it would be better if people didn't do this, because it will make bug tracking difficult. It will also diminish the effectiveness of the documentation which is aimed at keyboard users. Speaking from a purely personal point of view, I don't use any shortcuts for launching applications. I used to, until I realised how much trouble they can cause. These keystrokes are processed first, so if you come up with the wonderful idea of assigning CONTROL+O as the shortcut for Outlook, then you'll never be able to open a file again without going into the file menu first. I have so many programs with huge key maps that I'd have to spend half my day just finding a keystroke that isn't used by something. I know that some people like these keystrokes, but if your aim is to launch an application then you could just add an icon to the desktop, or memorise the keystrokes that get you to the app through the start menu. If your aim is to launch an app without speech, then there's this little thing called Windows Narrator. OK, it's hardly a high end screen reader, but it does enough to get you round the desktop and start menu. As a note to other developers, there are some programs (mentioning no names) which add a shortcut keystroke during installation. I don't know if this is an option which can be turned off during the installation but adding the keystroke should most definitely not be the default choice. STOP DOING IT!!!!! Yes you read that right. Five exclamation marks. The sure sign of an insane mind.
