Shortcut Keys Not Working

Post by Pohutukawa »

In Flare 4.2...

From my project's Master TOC, when I right-click a topic to display the shortcut menu, the menu listing shows, among other things, Properties F4.

When I press F4--either with or without displaying the shortcut menu--nothing happens. I had expected the Properties dialog box to appear.

How do I enable shortcut keys in Flare, please?

Thank you

The properties window only appears if you select the item in the content explorer or the TOC. It isn't accessible from the XML editor (i.e. inside the topic).

As far as getting them to work in the TOC window, it's working for me. I didn't do anything specific to get it to work (honestly, I wouldn't know how to turn it off....)
Until next time....

Perhaps there's something goofy in my Windows setup?

The F4 key does not work as intended from either the TOC or the Content Explorer (after having selecting a topic).

You could try reseting the Flare Interface back to default, by going into Windows, Layout and reset layout.
