How to create a Quick Build shortcut in TeXmaker?

Post by PierreJ »

TeXmaker's configuration window shows dozens of shortcuts, but I can't find the Quick Build one. I'd like to change the default Fn-F1 shortcut to Cmd-T (for Typesetting).

In TeXmaker v. 5, I did that without any problem, but updating the app to v. 6 ruined my setting and the Quick Build line apparently disappeared from the list of shortcuts in the configuration window.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I don't use TeXmaker, but if you don't find a solution in the editor, I suggest using a shortcut tool to register Cmd-T for that action. Sounds like a Macbook - I work on a Macbook too and use the BetterTouchTool for such keyboard actions, mouse and touch actions, as a screenshot tool, window switcher, and more.

Thank you very much, Stefan! Will do that.

By the way, user beware: going from TeXmaker v. 5 to v. 6 looks more like a 'downdate' than an update. I've noticed several problems. Among them, highlighted text is almost unreadable. Its colour is light grey, with a light blue background. Please see the attached image.
