Hi, everyone. I thought that I might introduce myself to the list before my first post. My name is Rob and I'm a graduate student. I am a huge fan of Mathematica and use it for typesetting almost all of my homework. I've post ed one or two questions to this group in the past and really appreciate the help that you folks offer. Anyway, I just upgraded to Mathematica 6 from Mathematica 5.2, and I'm trying to figure out how to set up short cut keys for applying styles. Basically, I want to be able to press: Alt-1 to apply the style Section Alt-2 to apply the style Subsection Alt-3 to apply the style Subsubsection Alt-4 to apply the style Text Alt-5 to apply the style Input Alt-6 to apply the style NumberedDisplayFormula Alt-7 to apply the style AStyleIDefined Alt-8 to apply the style AnotherStyleIDefined Alt-9 to apply the style Item I figure that I'll probably have to make my own style sheet to do this, and am hoping that I won't have to change the original style sheet too much to do it. I should say that I am also a big fan of a free macro program called AutoHotKey, (www.autohotkey.com) and would love to be able to apply a style from an AutoHotKey macro. Eventually I'd love to find a way to control Mathematica from AHK, perhaps using mathlink. In the shorter term, since AHK can issue arbitrary keystrokes, I'd love to be able to apply a style by having AHK press, for example, Ctrl-Alt-WindowsKey-Shift-1, but I have no idea how I mi! gh! t program that. I looked in C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\6.0\SystemFiles\FrontEnd\TextResources\Windows\KeyEventTranslations.tr, but couldn't find anything about style application. Does anyone have any tips regarding how I might accomplish either of these? Thanks in advance, Rob
