Maybe these are in the app already, but I couldn’t find them:
Command-back slash = indent here (like in Quark); to create hanging bullets without fussing with pixel numbers
Keyboard shortcuts to grab tools; I’m annoyed having to manually go click on the Select tool, then the Zoom tool, then back to select; Quark and ID have shortcuts for that.
Please put space-before and space-after in the text inspector, rather than buried in a menu, and add an Apply button so I can preview the effect. I often manually finesse line spacing, and it’s a pain to do this through either style sheets, or menus.
Keyboard shortcut to instantly hide/show all palettes.
The first three are not so very important to me personally although I understand they can come in very handy.
But number 4 would be VERY nice. Every time I start the program all my palettes are gone. This is here since the first version of Freeway I have use and also several versions of OSX. And yes, I already trashed my preferences several times.
Have a look at the Help menu and Keyboard Shortcuts PDF.
Although there are no direct tool mapping shortcuts you can cycle
through the tools using Command-Control-Tab or Command-Control-Shift-
Tab (to cycle backwards).

Tim.

Thanks, everyone, you solved several issues for me! That tool changing shortcut is handy but sure easy to overlook.
Now, when will Freeway get multiple undo’s? Is that in 5.5? Is it coming ever, Softpress?
Q: when I copy/paste text into FWP5, to apply a style and have it stick I generally have to apply No Style first, then the desired style. Is that normal?
Q: When I copy/paste styled text from one place in FWP5 to another, it loses its style and I have to re-apply. Why?
