MoviePlus X5
Create keyboard shortcuts to preview and play movies in full screen instantly.
Go to Tools>Options, select Keyboard and set up a new User Profile by clicking New.
Enter a name and click OK.
Under Command, expand the Preview tab and select Full Screen. In the Press new shortcut key box, type a shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+J),
and click Assign and OK.
Go straight to full screen (Ctrl+J), play and pause (F5),
and return to your workspace (Ctrl+J again), without touching your mouse.
PagePlus X5
Rather than zooming in aimlessly on your PagePlus document and then navigating to where you actually want to edit, why not just zoom in on a specific object?
Simply select the desired object and click the zoom-in icon on the View
toolbar to zoom
straight in on it.
