Additional Quark keyboard shortcuts

When all else fails, theres always the help file or application manual. After all, even charts can only go so far even with a few notes and tips. For a complete set of Quark keyboard shortcuts for special characters and application manipulation, select Help from the top Quark menu. Click the Contents tab. Click Typography (just under halfway down the list), then Special Characters. Select Text commands (or other desired category) for your platform. Mac is on top (or at left), Windows is listed second (below or at right). Some special characters can also be accessed from the index. Click
Index, then K from the row just below. Select Keyboard commands below, and scroll down on right as needed.
This will also show various related document commands. A printed manual can be ordered by phone or web from Quark. A PDF version is installed with your application. Open the Quark 7 folder within your Applications folder, open Documents, then English (or your language if not English). Manual is called Guide to QuarkXPress.pdf. Within the manual, Quark invisibles keyboard shortcuts begin on page 132. And go ahead, take some time to read the entire Working with glyphschapter.

Glossary
Related terms
Accent|Generally now known interchangeably as diacritic marks

(which referred only to pronunciation), symbols that appear above, below, connected or through and rarely next to a character to indicate special pronunciation and/or meaning.
ASCII|American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Original 8 bit computer character code set developed by ANSI,the American National Standards Institute. Defines the basic128-character set of non-printing command keys including the primary 96 printing characters accessible by the keyboard.
Letter|A character created to express a sound in a language. The primary 26 uppercase and their respective 26 lowercase alphabetic characters on a font used to form words. Not synonymous with glyph or character, which also include figures, punctuation and other symbols on a font. Ligature|A combination of two or more letters or symbols into one
glyph for aesthetic, pronunciation or meaning purposes.
Lining figures|Figures of the same height, aligning at the baseline

and at cap height or just below. Usually of fixed width to align in tables, they can also be proportional,with differing widths and kerns for better fit in running body copy.
Character|Any printable or non-printable typographic element

contained within a single position on a font, including its outline and related metrics (widths, kerns and other measurement values). Can include letters, figures, accents and other symbols, as well as non-printing symbols or commands (such as spaces or line endings). Also referred to as a sort in hot metal typesetting. A characters outlines are called glyphs.
Oldstyle figures|Figures drawn with primary heights the same as

x-heights, but including ascenders and descenders. Oldstyle figures are usually proportional, but can also be of fixed-width for tabular purposes.
Character set|A grouping of characters usually defined by

standards set by varying computing consortiums, computer language character strings or groupings developed for specific purposes, such as defining typesetting of different languages.
Pi character|Any symbol not a letter, figure, punctuation, accent

or other standard glyph considered to be part of a specific typeface. Pi characters, and pi fonts, include non-alphanumeric symbols such as bullets, boxes, arrows, math, Greek, other dingbats, picture-like characters, ornaments and various decorative elements.
Composite character|A combination of two or more individual characters into one font position, or keystroke. Case|From non-digital metal typesetting, the position of a letter,
determining capital (uppercase, shift) or small (lowercase, unshift) letters of the Latin alphabet.
Point size|A measurement system primarily used for typography

and graphic design. Although 72 points are slightly less than an inch, most software preferences make 72 points equal an inch for ease in conversion.
Diacritic|see accent. Dingbat|see pi character. Em space|see space, fixed. En space|see space, fixed. Figure|A printing numeral, or number. Figure space|see space, fixed. Fixed accent|An accent created as one character, not a referenced
combination of a letter and a floating accent within a font.
Punctuation space|see space, fixed. Rule|A line, horizontal or vertical, of any width used in typography. Space, fixed|Non-printing separator characters whose width
remains the same (non-flexible) at a specific size. Em space is the square of the point size (in10 point,10 point10 point). En space is a half em, though fonts vary. Thin space is a quarter (usually referred to as 4-to-the-em or 4-per-em) or fifth of an em. Thick space is a third of an em. Hairline (hair) space is a very thin space, technically the width of the thinnest stroke of a letter. Figure space is the width of a figure, or number. Punctuation space is the width of a period or comma.
Floating accent|An accent meant to be combined with another

character, usually self-centering.
Font family|A complete set of fonts of one style (or design),

comprised of fonts of varying weights, inclinations and other variations.
Space, proportional|The standard wordspace, coded to adjust thinner or wider than its average default width to align lines of type. Symbol|see pi character. Thin or thick space|see space, fixed. Typeface|An individual set of characters, including letters, figures,
punctuation and its various symbols of a particular style. A font is one weight with one inclination (roman (upright), italic (inclined or oblique) and one style (or design). In current usage, differs from font,which is the physical form (various digital formats and platforms, or metal,wood, etc.)
Font|An individual set of characters, including letters, figures,

punctuation, various symbols and its related codings. A font is one weight with one inclination (roman (upright), italic (inclined or oblique) and one style (or design).
Glyph|A font characters outline, the underlying specific graphical symbol(s) of a character, printing or non-printing. Hairline space|see space, fixed.
ISO|International Organization for Standardization. A global network
of organizations that identifies, develops and promotes international standards and related activities.
Keystroke|A depressing of a single key on a keyboard, used also to mean a single glyph, or character, position on a font. Latin alphabet|Technically, the 26 letters that form the basis of
the alphabet for the common Western languages. Derived from Roman stone-carved Capitals, later evolving through scribescalligraphic handwriting to include the small (lowercase) letters.
Unicode|International computer coding system designed to define far larger character sets than the original limited ASCII coding. Developed by the Unicode Consortium,a worldwide group of typographic- and softwarerelated companies and organizations.Taken over by ISO/IEC,which continues development of character set standards. Mostly important for font and web development. Weight|Relative thickness of character strokes. One aspect of a font
(or typeface) family.
