Hi everybody,

I wrote the script to find any Shortcut key used in the document. It only show the shortcut key names, but i want to remove all the shortcut keys which is used in the document or better it show the Pop-up Alert only if the document having any shortcut keys. Please help me if anybody aware of this!

My script are as below:

tell application "Finder"
	choose file of type {"XPRJ"} with prompt "Choose the Quark"
	set theFiles to result
	open file theFiles
	
	tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress"
		
		set StylehotKey1 to key modifiers of every style spec as text
		set StylehotKey2 to key character of every style spec as text
		
		set CharacterhotKey1 to key modifiers of every character spec as text
		set CharacterhotKey2 to key character of every character spec as text

		
		display dialog StylehotKey1 & " " & StylehotKey2 & " " & "in Paragraph StyleSheets & " & CharacterhotKey1 & " " & CharacterhotKey2 & " in Character StyleSheets"
	end tell
	
end tell

==================

Hi,

My experience with scripting QuarkXPress tells me that the following code might do the trick. I have not tested this code, as I am currently on the road (but not driving…) and only have InDesign installed on my mobile Mac.


tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
	activate
	set stylespecprops to {class:style spec, key character:"", key modifiers:{}}
	tell document 1
		set stylespecs to object reference of (every style spec)
		repeat with stylespec in stylespecs
			set properties of stylespec to stylespecprops
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell
