We previously reported that under Mac OS X 10.2.x, there is a keyboard shortcut conflict between QuarkXPress' 'Step and Repeat.' And Mac OS X's 'Automatically Hide the Dock.'

The previous published workaround involved an AppleScript, but David Jenner offers a more permanent solution that involves hacking Quark XPress via: 'When I switched to OSX full time last summer I hacked into the Quark appwith ResEdit (or other such tool) and changed the Option-Cmd-D shortcut toOption-Cmd-Z (or any other available letter you choose).

Select Step & Repeat in the left hand panel and then change the letterin the right hand panel from a D to a Z. Close all the windows and save thechanges, load up your new Quark and Hey Presto!

Using David's method you can change and add various shortcuts to Xpress, and other applications, but be careful; tinkering with the shortcuts in ResEdit can have detrimental effects if you create a conflict for routinely used keyboard combinations.
