Suggestion: Ctrl-S

In Windows, it appears that "Control-S" (Ctrl-S) doesn't work in Logos Desktop. I would like to suggest that "Ctrl-S" be assigned to "Update current Layout". I don't know how many times I have changed a layout and then automatically hit "Ctrl-S", automatically thinking I have updated the current layout... only sometimes to find I didn't. Sad

This works in just about all files to save the current file, if the file is editable. Just a suggestion that would help I think.

Thanks. Geeked

I think you appreciate that CTRL+S is a global Save for files/documents in external apps like MS Word, whilst documents in Logos are automatically saved (synced). ALT+A is supposed to open/close the Layout menu (per Help file) but does nothing (the Close aspect does not work for most menus with keyboard shortcuts). You should see the Save and Update options in the Layouts menu. To Update a layout you first have to Save it, so there is a different paradigm for Layouts. You can create a shortcut for Update from the Update active Command.

As always, thank you Dave. It was just a thought...

Totally agree. We need custom shortcuts

There were people on the forums sharing programmable controllers as a custom shortcut solution a while back. see FREE Stream Deck Buttons and Icons for Logos Bible Software - Logos Forums
