About editing KeyEventTranslations.tr First Question) `Item[KeyEvent["q", Modifiers -> {Control}], "MoveNextWord"]` : working `Item[KeyEvent["y", Modifiers -> {Control}], "MoveNextWord"]` : not working For the same instruction, some combination of keys work, other combination of keys not work. Why? Second Question) After disabling the following preexisting code in KeyEventTranslations.tr(deleting or wrapping it to a comment) (* Item[KeyEvent["Home", Modifiers -> {Shift}], "SelectLineBeginning"] *) <- wrapped to a comment then, if I add Item[KeyEvent["Home", Modifiers -> {Shift}], FrontEndExecute[FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[SelectedNotebook[], "WriteThis"]]] :working So it has been verified that 'FrontEndExecute~~blahblah~~WriteThis' code is a working code. Note that we verified that 'Ctrl + q' is an accepted key combination in first question. But rather strangely, Item[KeyEvent["q", Modifiers -> {Control}], FrontEndExecute[FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[SelectedNotebook[], "WriteThis"]]] : not working So for the same key combination, some instruction(= code) works, other instruction not works. Why ?
