Description Jim Raykowski 2019-03-16 04:33:21 UTC
When the cursor is in the header/footer edit window and the header/footer frame menu button is visible there isn't a way to active the frame menu button popup menu using the keyboard.

A keyboard key combinations that I think might be good for this is Alt+Down arrow.

Alt+down might be an option but why not have an accelerator like &Header (Default Style) and alt+H.

The accelerator idea was the first approach I tried. It didn't seem possible/easy because of how the header/footer button is implemented. I could use some code pointers on how to do this :-)

I would always ask you for code pointers ;-). Let's see if Samuel is smarter than both of us.

Still haven't been able to crack this nut.
