Is there a way to create a custom function key command in Logos 7 for Mac? Specifically, I want to be able to float a panel by pressing a single key (if possible), rather than the 2 or 3 keystrokes it currently takes. Thanks!
Hi Scott, welcome to the forums!
A single keystroke? Not without a 3rd Party App like Keyboard Maestro.
Most of Logos's keyboard shortcuts are not "Mac-standard," meaning that you cannot change them in the System Preferences like you can for apps like for Safari, Mail, Pages, etc. Personally, I've added and/or changed over a dozen shortcuts in 5 or 6 apps. But you can't do that with Logos.
If I were to do what you were asking, I'd make an AppleScript to automatically type the current Logos shortcut for floating a window. Then I would get an App like Keyboard Maestro that can launch an AppleScript via a keyboard shortcut.
But then you have to keep this Keyboard Maestro running in the background, waiting for you to type your shorter keyboard shortcut so that it can launch the AppleScript to type the longer Logos keyboard shortcut and float your window.
You would also have to find a keyboard shortcut that doesn't conflict with anything else.
I can help if you want to pursue this route.
P.S. You can also right-click the resource tab to float the panel.
Thank you Levi. I was hoping there was a simpler solution. It seems it is easier to right-click or use the Alt-Command-F keystroke. Oh well. It was worth a shot. Thank you again.
