Assigning Option+Cmd 8

Post by goldste4 »

Hi All,
I suspect this question has more to do with my relative newness to OS X than to NWP, but I'm trying to assign a style to option+cmd 8, and for whatever reason I can assign the style to option+cmd 6, 7, 9, and 0, but not option+cmd 8. I think it might be an OS X issue because in the OS X keyboard viewer I can't get the 8 key to light up when I press it with the option + cmd keys (but the other number keys I've tried light up). Any suggestions?
(I'm assigning different levels of paragraph styles to different number keys, so for logical consistency I really would like to be able to use the option+cmd 8 shortcut).
If it is helpful, I'm using the US extended keyboard within OS X 10.6.5.
Thanks,
Josh

Howdy. CMD + Option + 8 may already be assigned. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. I believe under Universal Access, that shortcut may be assigned to zoom in/out.
