Reply To: Is it possible to do a keyboard shortcut for a button?

[Derek Read]

Macro recording is pretty much limited to things that directly affect a document using the keyboard pasting content, typing content, moving around in the document, etc.

The immediate solution for you would be to use Alt+T followed by C.

In XMetaL Author shortcuts are assigned to macros (a macro might have an associated button on a toolbar or menu but that is incidental). For built-in functions like the Change Tracking feature there is no macro so you cannot assign (or reassign) a shortcut key directly to a built-in function. You would need to write a macro that either duplicates the feature or otherwise runs the feature and assign a keystroke to the macro. There are APIs that let you turn Change Tracking on and off so the following would do it in this case:

[code=Toggle Change Tracking, JScript example]if (ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions == false) {
ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = true;
}
else {
ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = false;
}[/code]
