Cindy,
thanks a lot for your suggestion. I followed your instructions. Clicking in
<press new shortcut key> produced nothing. I looked through many of the key
combinations there, but found no Left Shift+Alt, which I use to toggle.
Moreover, I was unable to find the toggle in the list of Commands. In the
Categories, there is Tools, and in the Commands, there is <ToolsLanguage>.
Description of this combination says <Changes the language formatting of the
selected characters>, but there is no key combination assigned and pressing
my combination produces nothing. What do I do now? Your assistance is
appreciated.
Ilya
