Customize Capitalization Options

[kitimat]

I use " Sentence Capitalization" and "Header Capitalization" commands constantly.
Is there an option to have those to commands show up as a right-click-menu choice?
How about a hotkey combination?
thanks
John

Hi John,
There are no default hot keys for the “Sentence” or Heading” case patterns, but you can assign custom ones through the “Tools | Hot Keys…” dialog (“All Commands” category):



HTH.
Cheers,

Thanks Robert.
I got that to work. I was misunderstanding the process.

I have another query though.
On the toolbar there is a drop-down menu for the capitalization functions.
In the drop-down menu the selections appear to have accelerator keys assigned to them. Heading for example.
These accelerator keys do not work for me.
Pressing alt merely closes the drop-down menu.
How do these accelerator keys work?
Can I assign a hot key to make this drop-down menu appear?

confused

You’ve got every reason to be confused. These accelerator keys do not work, and I could not see any way to assign a hot key to the associated drop-down.
Let’s call it a feature request, and hope that the Atlantis developers will look into it.
Until they fix this, you’ll have to assign your own custom hot keys to the “Sentence” and Heading” case patterns.
Cheers,
Robert

You do not need to press Alt when the menu is already displaying. Just press the "H" key.

Sorry, you cannot set a hot key that would display that drop-down menu. But you can assign a hot key to the "Change text case (...)" commands through the "Tools | Hot Keys..." menu command of Atlantis:



You could then simply select text in your document, and press the assigned hot key to change the case pattern of the selection.
