I am using Outlook 2007 on Windows XP for work, and always hit Ctrl+Shift+D to send messages. That's the shortcut in Mail.app and in MobileMe's Mail web app, and I prefer it to Ctrl+Enter, which is Outlook's send mail shortcut. Spoiled by Mac OS X's ability to easily change shortcuts for any application, I've been looking for a way to change the shortcut. How can you do this?

Update

I ended up using TeX HeX's suggestion, AutoHotkey. The script I wrote is below:

; Remap Ctrl+Shift+D to Ctrl+Enter for Outlook in Message window
#IfWinActive, ahk_class rctrl_renwnd32
^+d::
Send ^{enter}
return

As far as I know there is no option in Outlook to change these Ctrl+SOMETHING shortcuts, see this question.

However, you could use AutoHotKey to assign a script that sends CTRL+ENTER to Outlook when you press CTRL+SHIFT+D - here's a description of these hotkeys in AHK.

  • AutoHotKey. It can cure world hunger. – surfasb Aug 03 '11 at 21:06
  • @surfasb: That's how it seems. I'm not sure I'll be able to install it on the machine though, as I'm fairly certain I don't have admin access on that box. – Dov Aug 03 '11 at 21:19
  • It can also be used as a portable app. Hear Hear! http://portableapps.com/node/13021 – surfasb Aug 03 '11 at 21:28
  • I couldn't install it (and I couldn't use it as a "portable app" because the machine in question is a VM I access with Citrix), but I downloaded it as a ZIP, and was able to use it that way, just running in its own directory. I copied a shortcut to my .ahk script (see above) into the Startup folder. – Dov Aug 04 '11 at 15:12
