To use these, first selected the object, then press Alt, press the two letter context menu shortcut, and then press the remaining keys if any. The double-letter shortcuts make it possible to use keyboard shortcuts with contextual tabs. Some tabs are contextual and appear only when you’ve inserted or selected an object such as a shape or a table. These shortcuts were introduced with the Publisher ribbon. Here they are: In this articleĬreate, open, close, or save a publicationĬopy, cut, paste or delete text or objects You probably already use shortcuts like Ctrl+C for Copy and Ctrl+S for Save, but you might not know a lot of the other shortcuts. (and WOW, HP is really evil stupid for this.Sometimes you can work faster by leaving your fingers on the keyboard and not switching over to the mouse or touch pad. I would try the IME route over AutoHotKey because it's part of the OS, will probably work everywhere, and instantly give you access to all characters through a common method rather than trying to add some custom ad hoc per character custom key binding. I'm not sure if Windows has any simpler versions of Unicode IME, my Linux iBus IME has a shortcut version that supports rfc1345 (° is &DG) and a full Unicode version that is Ctrl-U XXXX for when you need the full Unicode range. Once you get the hang of using an IME it's not that awkward. This may be more work at first, but should let you type any other Unicode character the exact same way. This method *should* let you hit Left-Alt+Shift and then type the hexadecimal code of the character you wish to enter (° is 00b0). This uses a Unicode extension to the IME (Input Method Editor) that is normally used to type languages that don't fit the standard US-ASCII keyboard. Check out Typing in random Unicode code points.

In HoeKey, this will create the same hotkey ( Ctrl-Alt-d creating the ° degree you can change the keyboard shortcut to fit your preferences, and/or add an additional shortcut for ° for when you're posting on the web. In AutoHotkey, this example will create a hotkey so that typing Ctrl-Alt-d creates the ° degree symbol (i.e. I just tested the following hotkey examples on Vista (sorry, no Win 7 machine handy) and they both worked fine: You'll probably also want to delete some of the pre-configured hotkeys. With either, you'll need to edit a file using a text editor and add a command to create your keyboard hotkey/shortcut or to remap a key. (I think both HoeKey and AutoHotkey are useful, but found it easier to start with HoeKey - YMMV.)īoth are free. There's also HoeKey which is even tinier but still powerful and also allows custom hotkeys/remapping. It has a lot of other features listed on the page that may be way more than what you want, but be sure to check the quick-start tutorial. ![]() I agree with flabdablet's suggestion of AutoHotkey - it will allow you to set up a hotkey/shortcut or remap a key to output the degree symbol. Best answer: is there a way I could remap a key or something to have a shortcut? ![]()
