This works, but again, only when VLC Player is the active window. I found the Keyboard Shortcut interface in the System Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse panel, and I tried assigning F6 to VLC's menu item named "Skip Backward" (or something like that I don't have it right in front of me). I figured these function keys must work because they are globally assigned. If she holds down the F7, it will skip back 10 secs or so at a time, but timing when to let go takes some real finesse. Many of the shortcuts that use the Ctrl key on a Windows keyboard also work with the Control key in Word for Mac. Note: You can save changes in Normal to apply to all Word documents or save it for the current document only using the Save changes in dialog. Tap on the keyboard buttons you want to use for the shortcut, and click Assign. For instructions, go to Create a custom keyboard shortcut for Office for Mac. Where it says Press new shortcut key, this is where you will assign your custom keyboard shortcut. We figured out that the F7-F9 keys will move backward, forward, play and pause (the icons were a big tipoff here) while she was typing, but she needs to do very short backward jumps. If you dont find a keyboard shortcut here that meets your needs, you can create a custom keyboard shortcut.
#Assign hotkey word mac how to#
We have figured out how to assign keyboard shortcuts in VLC, and these work fine, but only if VLC is the active window. She wants to be able to control audio playback from the keyboard while typing. In this case, one of our staff has recently started transcribing on her Mac using VLC media player and Word. I don't know squat about Macs, but since it usually involves clearing a printer jams, this hasn't been an issue. Enable tabbed editing and reading in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher. However, I am in a very small department that has a mishmash of Macs and PCs, and to most of the people here I'm "Generic IT Person," so occasionally I'm asked to troubleshoot Macs. In the Macro dialog box, select the macro name you will assign hotkey, and then. I will begin by mentioning that I am a SQL/ASP.NET programmer and I work in Windows environments.
