You can - in Interface Builder - create any menu item you want with whatever keyboard shortcut you want. How did you specify ⌘9 as a shortcut? Just add a new menu item to any of your menus, change it's title to "Help", and Control-drag from the new item to an object (a file) which you want to handle the help action and choose which of your pre-existing methods you want to use.

Thanks for the response. However, I have already deleted the help menu. Until this works, I have the shortcut as ⌘9 for testing purposes. This works fine. Unfortunately, as soon as I change it to ⌘?, pressing the keys makes nothing happen. Literally, nothing - it doesn't even beep, as it would if I pressed ⌘3, for example.

Hi,

In Leopard, pressing ⌘? automatically activates the Help menu. Unfortunately, this means the ⌘? shortcut cannot be assigned to anything else. In my application, the ⌘? shortcut needs to perform a different action to the pre-built one. (It is a full- screen application, help is written on a simple panel.)

How can I rewire the ⌘? shortcut to my showHelp: method? _______________________________________________

Very easy. Just do it in Interface Builder. Select the Help menu item, then in the connections inspector disconnect it from it's default connection and re-assign it, or just simply delete the menu item.


HTH,
