Friday, May 09, 2008 Rebinding the Shortcuts Okay, how retarded am I? I'm actually happy, I'm downright gleeful, to have discovered the way to edit keyboard shortcuts in InDesign. I work with Corel Ventura the last eight years and I can put a book together in my sleep with it. But we're trying to integrate Adobe because the rest of the world uses it and it's been a royal pain in ass1. I keep hitting keys thinking they'll resize the spread, instead, it opens the swatch panel. Or worse--tries to close the program. But now, I can reorient those bad boys more to my liking (although I can't seem to get Redo to work like I want it). But I feel like I just made my job about 50% easier. Yah! 1. And why is "because everyone else is doing it" not a good enough excuse to engage in any other behavior, except business software? Ventura is extremely good at what it does, it's probably the best page-layout software I've ever worked with. Heck, it's almost friendly. Versus things like Quark which will sucker punch you and steal your woman the first chance it gets. Yet we have to make some effort to at least use InDesign semi-regularly simply because everyone else is. The best does not always rise to the top, when mediocrity has a ginormaous advertising budget. posted by Evil Wayne | 3:52 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
