Why isn't ctrl+) shown as keyboard shortcut in Microsoft 365 Word.
Solved. Thanks gents!
- Thank you Stefan. I think that's just what I will do.
The question is why the Ctrl+) shortcut does not show up on Bobby's system. I doubt either of us can answer that question without access to the computer and keyboard involved (not possible nor recommended). We have addressed how to get a shortcut that will do what he wants.
I have the same Ctrl+0 shortcut listed in my English-US system.
It does not seem to do anything here including in safe mode, but I use styles for my paragraph formatting. Otherwise I use the paragraph formatting dialog in rare instances for this.
A command to increase the spacing would be one of the Open commands.
My recommendation, though, would be to have a Style with the appropriate spacing and apply the shortcut to that.
Hi Charles, on my system it is actually Ctrl+0 (no Shift key involved) for adding/removing 12 points of spacing before. This is the default on my Swedish keyboard. 🙂
- Hi Stefan, I think you mean Ctrl+Shift+0. In any case, with different keyboards on my laptop, I see different things. Sometimes it is Ctrl+), other times Ctrl+Shift+0. In any case, the keyboard shortcut is available and works, once saved, regardless of which keyboard I am using.
- It is an Msi Titan Gt77 laptop keyboard. When I typed it in keyboard customization box it produced ctrl+0 not )
Thanks for the follow-up.
Out of curiosity, which type of keyboard are you using? For me, Ctrl+) would mean Ctrl+Shift+9.
