Keep Fit in Window question

[Jonathan Tyzack]

Hi,

the way to make the "Keep Fit in Window" the default zoom for every  
new document is to create a template with that as the zoom setting  
and then point to that template as the default in your preferences  
(select the newly created template as the New Document Template under  
Preferences>Templates). Unfortunately, this setting is *not* kept for  
new canvasses within a document which is a royal PITA. Send OmniGroup  
feedback about this!

However, it is very easy to set a keyboard shortcut for the option.  
In OS 10.4.x (and IIRC, this is the same in 10.3.x too), open System  
Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts and click the plus  
sign below the list of shortcuts. A sheet will appear where you can  
choose a shortcut for "All Applications" by default. Click this and  
choose OmniGraffle Professional instead. Then enter:

Keep Fit in Window

into the "Menu Title:" text input box and choose a shortcut by  
pressing all the keys you want together - I chose command-option- 
control-z for this particular option (be careful to avoid any  
shortcuts that are already taken by other menu items and system  
keyboard inputs!). Click add to set your new keyboard shortcut. If  
you have OmniGraffle open, quit and re-launch to have the new  
shortcut become active.

HTH.

Cheers,

Jonathan
