Recode Shortcut

Can we have a shortcut key for recode for both PC and Mac?

For both PC and Mac.

@EmmaKeeling thank you for your suggestion. We have captured your request and are taking it under consideration.

We are checking into this.  FYI, under Windows you can create your own keyboard shortcuts either by customizing your menu or by creating an addin, but unfortunately you cannot do that in MacOS currently.  

Re: Recode Shortcut - Status changed to: Not Planned For Now

@EmmaKeeling - There is a workaround using the Mac OS Keyboard Preferences. Let me know if this works for you!  Since there are workarounds for both Mac and windows, we do not plan to address this in JMP  at the moment.

The post says:
"Go to: Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts.

1. Then click "+" at the bottom of the right pane, select "JMP 14.app" (or whatever) for application
2. For "Menu Title", put in the menu you want to assign, e.g. for Select Matching Cells under Rows, enter "Rows->Row Selection->Select Matching Cells"
3. Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field and type the keyboard shortcut you want to use

The OS will automatically show you the shortcut in the menu now."

Re: Recode Shortcut

OMG this is amazing! Thank you! Will be sure to spread this far and wide in our organisation! I don't have a PC, could you provide me with exact instructions on how to do this in Windows? It was mentioned an option to do it in this thread, but greater detail would be more helpful.

Re: Recode Shortcut

@EmmaKeeling - You're welcome! For Windows, you can do this by customizing your menu. Try this: go to View > Customize > Menus and Toolbars.  

 

Look at the section "Assign a Shortcut Key", at this link: Create Menu Items and Toolbar Buttons  

 

The documentation states:

"To assign a shortcut key, follow these steps:

1.With the Menu Editor still opened, select the menu item or button.

The Shortcuts properties appear on the right.

2.Do one of the following:

–To assign a new shortcut, click in the New shortcut area and press the shortcut keys. If the keystrokes then appear in the Currently assign to box, press another combination of shortcut keys. (You do not have to delete the keystrokes before pressing the shortcut keys.)

–To change a shortcut that you previously specified, click Remove, click in the New shortcut area and press the shortcut keys.

3.Click Assign.

The shortcut appears in the Current shortcuts list.

4.Click Save to save your changes."

 

Let me know if that works for you!
