Shortcut Key F2 (Search/next bookmark) doesn't work

Post by woho »

Hi everybody

I've a problem with key shortcuts:
<F2> does not work for jumping to NEXT bookmark
<Shift>+<F2> works for jumping to the previous bookmark

Using the menu instead of keybord shortcut works

Viewing the list in Preferences/Keybord tells me
...
BookmarkNext F2
BookmarkPrev Umschalt+F2
...
"Umschalt" = "Shift"

<Shift>+<F4> works as it should

=> F2 Key is OK
=> Shortcut is assigned correctly
=> ??? No idea why it doesn't work

Any similiar experiences or hints for me ??
Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, TextPad 4.7.1 (the same with 4.6.2)

Thanx
Wolfgang

The most likely cause is that some other application is "stealing" F2. Try it when TextPad is the only application running. If that doesn't help, maybe it's your display or audio driver. Try closing all the programs associated with the icons in the notification area of the taskbar.

Shortcut Key F2

That's it
Until now I had thought key shortcuts apply only to the active window application (except windows shortcuts like i.e. <WindowsKey>+M for minimizing all windows in Win2k)
But I found that F2 doesn't work in TextPad (active window) as long as KeyNote runs (not active window)

Thanx
