[resolved] Smart Select vs. Highlight Keyboard Shortcut

Rich Thirsk

When using [Alt] key to turn of smart select, some keyboard shortcuts for highlighting no longer work. It appears that using [Alt] for this purpose also starts the keyboard shortcut sequence for general Logos 6 user interface. E.g., after dragging mouse to select some text, disabling smart select with [Alt], narrowing my selection and then typing 'd', the window focus (sometimes) moves to the Command box.

Workaround: After typing the highlighting keyboard shortcut, type [Esc] and then the highlighting keyboard shortcut a 2nd time.

Actually a better workaround is this:

After forcing your 'selection' using [Alt] and your pointing device, then type the [Esc] key before your highlighting style's keyboard shortcut.
