Can this beadded to one's installation of Mathematica? I seem to be doing "Esc [ [ Esc Esc ] ] Esc left arrow" quite a lot in a Windows 7 system. > > Barrie > > An interesting alternative, is to create a new menu item, by editing MUNUSETUP.TR (after backing it up!). Menu items can be set up with nmemonic (such as the standard Alt-FO to open a file). A menu needs slightly more keyboard characters, but you can always find the added menu items by exploring the Mathematica menu. You can add your own Item structure, such as: Item["&Something",FrontEndExecute[someCommand[]], MenuEvaluator->Automatic] The someCommand can contain any Mathematica operations, such as NotebookWrite[InputNotebook[],"[[]]" ];SelectionMove[InputNotebook[],Before,Character,2] David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
