MenuCommandKey

is an option for cells that specifies the keyboard shortcut to be associated with a style listed in the Format ▶ Style submenu.

Details

  • Acceptable values include None and "1" through "9". Shortcuts combining the key with a number key can also be specified by using the form MenuKey["n",Modifiers{"Shift"}].
  • Style definitions with menu command keys also generally include a MenuSortingValue to determine the location of the style in the Format ▶ Style submenu.
  • "n" is equivalent to MenuKey["n"].
  • This option is typically specified in the style definition cell of a stylesheet.

Examples
