In our projects we can assign shortcuts to the styles, but once a shotcut is assigned, we neither can change nor delete it. (The shortcut field is no more accessible.)
Notes on our projects:
- Saved as uncrompressed files
- Assigned shortcuts are based on keys 1 to 9 on numeric block
Any ideas?

Re: Edit Styles: Can't change shortcut
Hi Robert,
What exactly do you mean when you say that the shortcut field is no longer accessible? Is it unresponsive, or just out of view? Note that you can't actually type in the shortcut field -- you must click there and then press exactly the key combination you want to use. If you press a combination that is already in use somewhere else your keypress will simply be ignored (it can be in use for another style or for a program function in View > Program Options > Shortcuts).

Re: Edit Styles: Can't change shortcut
Thanks! Your absolutely right
The problem was: You don't get any visual feedback when clicking into the shortcut field. -- So we didn't go for the next step (pressing a new key). Silly
So everything works fine as it should.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for noting this. We'll look into the possibility of providing some kind of feedback for shortcuts that are already assigned.
