I was used to zoom in and out by ctrl+I, ctrl+O, ctrl+L and ctrl+W.
Now in v6 I'm missing the ctrl+L (zoom layer to window) command, and ctrl+I requires an additional mouse action while ctrl+O (in v6 replaced by ctrl+M) does not.
Are there any 'hidden' (i.e. not described in help file) shortcuts in v6.0G ?

Dealing with each shortcut key individually:

"Zoom Layer to Window"CTRL + LThis set of shortcut keys is now used to create a new legend (Graph:New Legend). In changing the functionality of this shortcut key combination, they did not implement a new set for "zoom layer to window". I have entered a bug report suggesting that they bring this feature back under a new set of shortcut keys. I have added your name and e-mail address to the report in the event that the developers need to contact you.
Zoom InCTRL + IThe menu View:Zoom In was changed so that it and the Zoom In button behaved the same way (i.e. they both bring up the magnifying tool). As a result CTRL + I changed, too. This is by design. Unfortunately there is no plan to bring back the old functionality.
Zoom OutCTRL + O (CTRL + M)This set of shortcut keys (CTRL + O) was changed so that it now brings up the Open dialog box (File:Open). This more closely follows MS Windows standards. As you have already found out, CTRL + M has been implemented to replace CTRL + O when using the keyboard to zoom out.
Whole PageCTRL + WYou did not mention any problems.

Finally, any shortcuts that we provide should be listed directly to the right of each menu selection. For instance, if you select File:Open you should see that CTRL + O is listed next to it. Therefore, I do not believe that there are any additional "hidden" shortcuts.

I hope that this information proves helpful.

Add these lines at the end of your fullmenu.cnf file, that is in your Origin 6.0 folder:


menu -G;

menu ?Vi;
menu (Zoom to layer) {page.zoomLayer=1;}

Restart Origin after editing the file. Make sure that Format->Menu->Full Menus is active.

With this, you'll have a new element at the end of the View menu that will zoom to the active layer. I'm afraid it is not possible to create keyboard shortcuts for these user-defined menu elements, but I find this solution more confortable than Ctrl+I then mouse clicking then centering the layer...

See LabTalk help for further information about the menu command if you prefer this element to appear in other place.

Jose.
