Is there any shortcut to move the cursor to the ClipLibrary window witth the keyboard - not the mouse? Is there a way to insert a character from the Special Symbols with a Hot Key? Or a clip from the ClipLibrary with a Hot Key.
Thank you in advance...

Re: Hot Keys to the Clip Library

Greetings--
You cannot assign Hot Keys to Symbols but if you often insert the same symbols, you could save each of them as a separate clip in the Clip Library of your choice. For example, you could create a "Symbols" Clip Library, then save each symbol of interest as clip to this new Library.

There is no shortcut to move the cursor to the Clip Library window with the keyboard, but if you type 3 asterisks (3 "*" star characters) in the document window, Atlantis will pop up a window listing all the clips contained by the Clip library that was last selected. You can then use the arrow or End and Home cursor keys to select the desired clip. Then press Enter and the clip will automatically be inserted at the current insertion point.
Cheers

I typed 3 asterisks in the document, but nothing happened. What am I doing wrong? Do you need some kind of information about my pc?

Greetings–
You must show the Clip Library panel first and select the Library of interest. Then you can hide the Clip Library panel and type 3 asterisks in the document window where you want to insert a clip.

Thank you. For anyone else that might be interested, it must have been selected the option ''Replace clip names as you type''...
It is very useful for me (Nothing in the help file about it...)
Thank you again.

You could use autoCorrect options to replace certain personal codes with a special symbol. (Notice the special symbol button near the add button)

For instance replace "&dag" with the dagger symbol †
