I just have received from Scott Kruger of the Wolfram Technical Support an answer that keyboard combinations with Ctrl, Shift and Alt are not supported for the FrontEndEventActions: "The only way to edit general keybindings is to manually edit the .tr files through trial and error." "we do not support modifying the Mathematica installation by editing the .tr files. This is something that you would have to figure out own your own by trial and error." I have a little experience in adding to these files keyboard combinations related to FrontEnd tokens. But how to add a code which will be evaluated in the kernel before execution of the corresponding FrontEnd command? Specifically, I wish to evaluate some little code in the kernel when a user press Alt+"." and *before* aborting evaluation. Can anyone help me? Alexey
