Howdy,

I don't understand what you are asking? You can assign a keyboard shortcut like that to a macro if you wish. But I'd never do that! On a US keyboard it takes five fingers to produce that single keystroke (The three ``control keys'' and you must press Shift-4 to get $).

What I've actually done is set up the macros \(#SEL##INS#\)• and \[#SEL##INS#\]• and assigned them to Cmd-9 and Cmd-0 respectively.

By the way, my personal rule for placing a final bullet (•, Mark) at the end to quickly ``escape'' from an environment is that it must require more than a single key stroke (right-arrow) to get there; e.g., if I wanted to have {#SEL##INS#} as a macro or keybinding (to {) I wouldn't place a final • there since a single right-arrow will ``escape'' from the braces.

Good Luck,
