Strikethrough on Mac/Pages

Strikethrough on Mac/Pages seems to be missing.

Something that I’d come to take for granted on Word and Google Docs, a simple CMD-SHIFT-S, alas seemed to be missing from Mac and Pages.

Yes, you can do it through the interface, but a shortcut is sweet.

The solution

So, something I thought was not possible, I tried to solve the other day, and I found a solution.

1. Under System Settings, then go to “Keyboard” and press the “Keyboard shortcuts” button.
2. Under keyboard shortcuts go to “App Shortcuts”
3. Click + to add a shortcut
4. Choose the application “pages”, the menu item name “Strikethrough” and command you want to attach it to e.g. CMD-SHIFT-S

Then save / done / etc, and go back to Pages, and voila, highlight the text you want to strikethrough.

Do CMD-SHIFT-S and it will strikethrough, yeh, and do it again to un-strike-it-through.

And so I’m very chuffed with myself. Good luck.
