FreeHand 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for FreeHand 8

This really isn't a tip, but more of a helper.
Version: 8

If you're like me and you are used to the Keyboard Shortcuts used in FreeHand 7 then you found it frustrating that Command-K was not for Preview anymore. Well there are alot of them that changed so I went throught the trouble of re-creating all the shortcuts that were common with FreeHand 7 and made a file that you can download.

Download the file then put it in the Settings -> Keyboard directory.

Keyboard settings download Macintosh Stuffit File freehand7.sit Windows Zip File Not many changed but I'll supply this anyway. freehand7.zip

Within FreeHand 8 go to the File Menu and select Customize -> Shortcuts. Here you can choose the FreeHand 7 Shortcuts from the pull-down menu and hit the Close button.
