Adding a button or shortcut key for a text style
 
#1

TB v9.3.2

Just below the "Subject" field on the far left on the "Edit Mail Message" window is a dropdown list that allows different text styles to be selected, such as Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.  I frequently switch between different styles including some custom ones I've added to the list and having to scroll through that dropdown list to find what I need every time is very inconvenient.  Is there any way to add some custom buttons to the tool bar or possibly configure some shortcut keys to sel ect the desired style?

Also, I can modify the custom styles I created by clicking the little "A" button to the right of the dropdown list to open the "Styles" window, but if I create new ones in that window they don't show up in the dropdown list.  How do I add new styles or delete existing styles fr om that dropdown list?

George,

You are indeed correct and it is also visible on mine, but I just didn't look far enough down the dropdown list and it was at the very bottom :-(  I expected the new one I added to be grouped in the list in the same order as shown on the Style page itself, so I guess my real question becomes how to reposition the entries on the dropdown list.

You can type first character of style name, for example.

About manual arranging of styles ask support for adding feature.

George,

When I type one or more letters from the style name in the dropdown entry field until the desired style appears in that field, then press Enter, the style does not get applied.  Should I be doing something other than that?  The dropdown list itself does not open when merely typing the name.  The only way can seem to get the style to apply is to actually open the list, find the desired entry, and sel ect it from there.

I've also noticed that in some cases, regardless of which style I'm trying to apply or how, I have to sel ect "Clear Format" first to get it to work, and occasionally even this doesn't work and I'm forced to simply manually select the font, size, and various other attributes fr om the toolbar.  It's hard to pin down these exact situations sufficiently to open a meaningful ticket at this point so I'm hoping the next version might solve some of these issues.

I did open a ticket regarding rearranging the list entries fr om within TB, or at least being able to manually make changes to a TB configuration file somewhere.

I do confirm that bug. TB! not always apply it style from drop-down menu. I don't know why. Please report bug and your feature request to the support.
