Default Redefining the Ctrl [ and Ctrl ]s short cut with OnKey?
I would like to assign subroutines to two key sequences, default Excel
shortcut key sequences: Ctrl [ and Ctrl ].

Is this possible?

I placed this code in the "ThisWorkbook" module of PERSONAL.xls and got this
error: "Method 'OnKey' object '_Application' failed.

-------
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.OnKey "^[", "FindLinkedCell"
Application.OnKey "^[", "ReturnToCell"
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.OnKey "^["
Application.OnKey "^]"
End Sub
---------

The the procedures execute and the keys are rediefined if I use Ctrl a
("^a") and Ctrl b.

Hi John

Use this
Application.OnKey "^{[}", "FindLinkedCell"

Unfortunately, this solution does not work (at least for me).

Yes, the error is: Method 'OnKey' of object '_Application' failed.


The code is (copied):

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.OnKey "^([)", "FindLinkedCell"
Application.OnKey "^(])", "ReturnToCell"
End Sub
