* Shortcut keys for queries.

[dklbrooks]

I am used to creating scripts in such programs as Sony Vegas and Photoshop.
Such scripts can always be assigned a user shortcut key for ease of use.

I cannot find a way in Family Historian to do the same.

Surely the efficacy of custom queries would be improved if you could run them
without going View ==> Custom Queries then looking for the one to run? !!!!!

As per my reply to your other post, have a look at AutoHotKey https://autohotkey.com/, it's free, program independent, and can be a simple or sophisticated as you like.

Although you cannot define a single shortcut key, there is a keyboard shortcut technique:

Alt V C B Enter will run the first Custom Query whose name starts with B.

This works for many commands. Keying the Alt key puts an underline under the shortcut letter for each command, and when that letter is keyed, similarly for the command menu. So in the above case Alt V C invokes View and Custom Queries. Then in lists such as Custom Queries and Tools Plugins keying the initial letter (sometimes plus Enter) will invoke the first item with that initial.

So if you carefully name your Custom Queries with different initial letters you can have 26 fairly short keyboard shortcuts.
