Setting Preferences

You can quickly assign a keyboard shortcut to any of your styles while in the Style Sheet view, as
explained in the section “Assign a keyboard shortcut to your style as you edit it” on page 87.

Remove an existing keyboard shortcut

1.

Choose Preferences… from the Nisus Writer Express menu and check Menu Keys at the top of
the dialog.

2.

Choose the menu command from which you wish to remove the keyboard shortcut.

3.

Delete what appears in the text edit box.

4.

Click Set to confirm your keyboard shortcut.

Find whether a key combination has been assigned to a command

In the Menu Keys section of the Preferences dialog, choose any command and type a key. If that
key is used for any other command, Nisus Writer Express will alert you with a bit of text at the
bottom of the dialog stating that there is a conflict.

The System reserves certain keyboard shortcuts for itself. Especially when you are using a keyboard
(input method) other than U.S., be aware that (for example) using "N" (even in combination) is
interpreted as a New File command. You can, however, use the keys of the active input method and
paste them into the text edit box.

Set Your Language Preferences

A complete explanation of using the Language preferences appears in the section “Writing in
Multiple Languages” which begins on page 36.
