[TxMt] Re-binding Cmd-J and Shift+Cmd+J

[Brendan Dixon]

Hmm, I'll try to be more clear.

I've followed Allen's instructions to change key-to-command  
associations by editing KeyBindings.dict as he explains in several  
posts and his blog. Most of these are straightforward since I know  
the command name to use (e.g., movePageUp:, scrollPageDown:).  
However, I cannot find the command names associated with the Shift+Cmd 
+J and Cmd+J bindings. Further, Shift+Cmd+J is listed as a keyboard  
shortcut for a menu item which, if I've understood Allen, complicates  
matters because the menu system consumes keystrokes before sending  
them on to the application.

What I'd like to do is switch the meanings of Shift+Cmd+J and Cmd+J.  
I had hoped that I could accomplish the switch my editing, as I have  
for other key-to-command associations, the KeyBindings.dict file  
(either directly or by means of the KeyBindingsEditor application and  
referenced in one or more posts).

Does this help? If changing the key bindings will not work, does  
anyone have a suggestion on how I might switch the meanings of these  
keystroke sequences?
