Strikethrough on Mac\/Pages seems to be missing.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Yes, you can do it through the interface, but a shortcut is sweet.<\/p>\n

The solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, something I thought was not possible, I tried to solve the other day, and I found a solution.<\/p>\n

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

    Then save \/ done \/ etc, and go back to Pages, and voila, highlight the text you want to strikethrough.<\/p>\n

    Do CMD-SHIFT-S and it will strikethrough, yeh, and do it again to un-strike-it-through.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    And so I’m very chuffed with myself. Good luck.<\/p>\n
