An alternative way to create shortcuts for user macros and tools

[bbadmin]

Windows uses the "&" (ampersand) character to underline characters on menus which can be used as shortcuts. You can see it in action when you press the Alt key. For example, the "M" in "Macros" will then be underlined on the top level menu. That means that you can then press the "M" key to popup the Macros menu. The same thing applies to entries on that menu, so the Record command can then be started by pressing the underlined "R" key.

You can take advantage of this by using the "&" key in the names of your macros and tools. For example, if you name them like this:

&1. My first macro
&2. My second macro
&3. My third macro

You will then be able to run "My second macro" with the shortcut Alt+M,2. (i.e. click Alt, then "M", then "2").
