Hi
Sorry for posting this message to so many groups, but I was not sure
which group the windows keyboard experts would be reading, so I
ventured to post it to all of them.
I want to map or create shortcut on the keyboard for Cut/Copy/Paste
functions. I can use the regular Control_X, C or V to do the same in
Windows XP, but I would rather press a single key just like in Sun
Solaris keyboards which have specific keys for these functions.
Is there any way that I could use some simpler shortcut like some of
the Function keys to Cut/Copy/Paste?
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I am not aware of any way to change these keys in the OS, e.g. in Windows
Exploder. Even if you could change the keys in Windows, every application
also works with the same Ctrl C/X/V.
One solution might be to the get the Microsoft "Office" keyboard which has
additional function keys for these operations; other
brand keyboards have dedicated keys too. I suspect some keyboard remapping
software could make e.g. F5 perform Ctrl-C.

Perhaps RegisterHotKey
Then pump in say Ctl V using Keybd_Event
You can find examples for these in the downloadable API Guide from www.AllAPI.net

Key-to-function mapping is handled by each application in the Windows
environment, not by Windows itself. I could write an application in
which Ctrl-V was copy and Ctrl-C was paste, if I felt like it. Many
applications also assign specific functions to the F keys, such as F1 =
help, F7 = spell check, but again, it is up to each application. While
there are some conventions that many programs follow, they are not hard
and fast rules.
I don't think you will find a simpler mapping that will work
consistently across multiple applications. Once you look into it, the
Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V convention will start to look pretty good after
all.
Besides, how would you tell it what to copy, and where to paste?

I have some text boxes on a form in MS Access 2000. When I right click
in them I don't get any shortcut menu at all. I want the normal cut,
copy, and past menu to come up.
In the "Startup", I have the "Shortcut Menu Bar:" set to (default)
The "Shortcut Menu Bar" property of the text boxes, is empty.
So, where is my cut, copy, and past?????
Thanks....

I recently discovered, that if you set the startup options for
"security", you will have alot of work do to get Access back to
"normal".
If you disable the built-in menus/toolbars you'll have to reconstruct
the one you want as a custom menu/shortcut(popup)/toolbar.
All this was a long journey in order to allow the user to sort/copy on
a datasheet view of a subform, with all the menus disabled in the
startup options.

Hello all,
For right-click (shortcut) menus in access 2007, I've been using a
round-about method of opening access 97 on an old computer, modifying my own
custom shortcut menus, then importing the menus only into my access 2007
project.
This is proving cumbersome (especially since my old pc with access 97 likes
to blue screen when running acc 97), and I was wondering if there's an
easier way?
