Title: Keyboard shortcuts to context menu items
Post by: Dani on June 30, 2005, 12:55:47 am

Is the above possible ?

I have a bunch of connectors in a sequence diagram the source element of which needs to change. Presently I have to individually select each one of them, right click, go connection detail, and then set source and target.

It'd be nice if I could assign a keyboard shortcut to this function. It would also be nice if I could multiple select all the connectors I need to apply the operation to and do it in one go. As far as I can see that's not possible either.

Any suggestions ?

Shortcuts: Try Tools/Customize/Keyboard
Multiple selection: Still not possible (is EA developed OO?)

Thomas,

Re customize/keyboard, I tried that before posting, but as far as I can see there's no way to access an option that's only present in a context menu.

Maybe it's possible by writing an add-in. Haven't tried that so far, so actually it's onyl a guess :-/

In Ea 767 you can change the source/target of a connector by:

-hold shift, then left click the end that is to be moved
-select the new source/target element

HTH,

Ash,

Thanks a lot. That's an awful lot better than doing it through the context menu.
