My ME will not let me assign certain keys as activation keys, including tab, enter, backspace, and the 5 on the numeric keyboard. It also will not let me assign regular alphabetic, shift alphabetic, and numeric keys.

 

I could put many of these to good use. In particular, I would like to use some alphabetic and backspace keys in viewer programs, where otherwise the keystrokes go into the bit bucket.

 

Is there a reason that ME limits the activation keys? Is it technical? Or has no one asked for, or demanded, it?

It might be technical. On the other hand, it might not be. Have you looked into the ShortKeys feature of Macro Express? It sounds like this would be more of a fit for your needs.

The short keys with a blank prefix code would let me use the alphabetic keys so I could clone another viewer program to the Irfin view alphabetic commands, but that wouldn't solve the problem for the key I need the most, the backspace key.

You mentioned using Me with veiwer programs.

 

I want to use Me to help me list a number of PDF files, allow me to select each in succession, see inside each selected file with a viewer (not opening the file), and check off which ones I want to open in Adobe.

 

Do you know of a view that might work for this function?

 

Thanks
