Version 9.2 > Short cut keys?
I don't see the standard short cut keys shown along with the operation (e.g., <ctrl>S for "save").
When I do <ctrl>S I can't see that anything happens. Along that line, there used to be, I believe,
a setting for automatic saving; 3, 5, 10 min, etc. I can't find that either. Nor can I find any mention
of short cut keys in the manual. It's inconceivable that they're not available, but where is the description?
Hi Dick.
Looking for a little bit of clarification on this - are you referring to SongShow Plus or the Slide Builder?
FYI - There is (and has been for some time) an auto save option for programs in SongShow Plus in the Settings > Preferences > Program Panel options tab, but there is no timed element for that.
Shortcut or hotkeys in SongShow Plus are primarily for Keyboard control navigation.
Thanks George; almost every other program I have uses <CTRL>S as the keyboard "save" -- that includes SSB, but not SSP! Saving after every change is far too often and remembering to
click file menu/save can be a problem - especially when the program crashes. I would like this universally-used keyboard shortcut re-established in SSP.
Hi again Dick.
I went back through several versions to verify and I was not able to find any prior versions of SSP that CTRL - S is used to launch the Save dialog for the program. There are the ALT keys that have existed for some time in SSP (ALT - F - S = Save) so you could use that if you like though this, CTRL - S, and clicking File > Save would take the same amount of effort and you still have to remember to do these operations. If you want a "set it and forget it" option, the auto save is the way to go.
ALT-F-S will work and is only slightly more effort than CTRL-S - though not the standard. I thought sure
that I had used CTRL-S to save, but maybe I was just fooling myself! It wasn't very important in the past
because I almost never had the program stop responding. The automatic save seems to me to be overkill -
saving dozens or hundreds of times for mostly trivial changes!
Thanks for the response.
