Changing Menus and Commands

Online manual

To deﬁne an Asian typography command, use the <AsianFonts Yes> statement. For example, the following

statements deﬁne the Format > Document > Combined Fonts command:

<Command CombinedFonts

<Deﬁnition \x338>

The <AsianFonts No> statement has the same effect as omitting the statement. If the AsianFonts statement is

set to No or is not speciﬁed, the command applies to all conﬁgurations.

Removing a command

You can remove commands from a menu. Removing a command from a menu doesn’t remove the actual

command or its associated keyboard shortcut from FrameMaker. Only the menu changes.

Removing a command also doesn’t affect other commands, even though they may seem to be related. For

example, if you remove the Group command, the Ungroup command doesn’t disappear.

To remove a command, use the following statement:

ItemID is the identiﬁer of the command that you’re removing. MenuID is the identiﬁer of the menu containing

the item you want to remove.

If a command appears on more than one menu and you want to remove it from each menu, use one Remove

statement for each menu. For instance, to remove the Reshape command from both the quick and complete

Graphics menus, use the following statements:

Adding shortcuts for a command

There are two ways to specify a shortcut for a command. One is to specify a mnemonic shortcut and the other

is to specify a key sequence. A mnemonic shortcut is a one-character shortcut; the character must occur

somewhere in the label for the command. A key sequence shortcut usually consists of more than one key.

Adding mnemonic shortcuts A mnemonic shortcut is an underlined character in a command label. When the

menu is open, you can press the underlined key to execute the command. For example, when the File menu is

open, you can press x to choose the Exit command.

To specify a mnemonic shortcut for a command, ﬁnd the statement in which the command’s label is speciﬁed

and place an ampersand before the letter of the label which you wish to underline.

For example, the identiﬁer for the Exit command on the File menu is TerminateMaker. In the cmds.cfg ﬁle this

command is given the label Quit. This value is overridden in the wincmds.cfg ﬁle with the following statement

(notice the & before the x):

The mnemonic shortcuts will not be displayed unless the AutoMnemoniseMenus setting in the product initial-

ization ﬁle is set to On (see “Menu preferences” on page 7).
