mathgroup,

i've been mucking around in KeyEventTranslations.tr setting up keyboard
shortcuts recently and i've learned that front end tokens are pretty
cool. the wolfram page

http://documents.wolfram.com/v5/FrontEnd/FrontEndTokens/

gives pretty good docs.

anyway, here are three that i had to work a little to get going (with
good help from the mathgroup, as always).

* for a quit kernel keyboard shortcut, add the following to
KeyEventTranslations.tr:

        Item[KeyEvent["q", Modifiers -> {Control, Option}],
                FrontEndExecute[
                        FrontEndToken[
                                 SelectedNotebook[ ],
                                 "EvaluatorQuit",
                                 Automatic
                        ]
                ]
        ]

* for an initialization cell toggle keyboard shortcut (repeated from
previous thread), add the following to KeyEventTranslations.tr:

        Item[KeyEvent["i", Modifiers -> {Command, Control}],
                FrontEndExecute[
                        FrontEndToken[
                                SelectedNotebook[ ],
                                "InitializationCell",
                                "Toggle"
                        ]
                ]
        ]

* for a save as package keyboard shortcut, add the following to
KeyEventTranslations.tr:

        Item[KeyEvent["k", Modifiers -> {Control, Option}],
SaveRenameSpecial["Package"]]
