Hello Textmakers:

In Word, these two methods allow us to start numbered lists, or bullets, without having to go to the toolbar. This helps to speed up the process of typing, because you do not have to take your hands off the keyboard to handle the mouse.

In Word, you can start a numbered list by simply typing "1." or "1)" then hit the tab or space key. Word takes over from there and you're on your way.

In Word, you can start a bulleted list by typing * spacebar. (* Tab also works). Note: If you want more than the "ball bullet" you do have to use the toolbar to get the other options.

I tried both shortcuts in TextMaker, but neither of them work. Is there another way to have the same mouseless numbered lists and mouseless bulleted lists in TextMaker?

Thank you for your time and interest.

For me, this is a specially hated one of these foolish Word automatisms. It has driven me crazy more than once. Word simply refuses to accept that 1) I sometimes like to have ordinals in copy text and 2) I don't need any unwanted help, thank you.
TextMaker, in contrast, does only what I want it to do, and nothing more. If you need mouseless bullets or numberings, you can easily define your own keyboard shortcut for it by way of Tools Customise Keyboard Mappings...
Choose "Edit", Group "Format", Command "Bullets" or "Numbering". There you can also define shortcuts for "Skip numbering" and "Stop numbering".

Wow, thanks Jossi..
I never knew that.. Well, now I know, and its gonna be more convenient for me..
