‡ While accelerator keys or shortcuts are usually documented using uppercase letters (<Alt> + F + O), when using shortcuts in macros, you should use lowercase letters (<Alt>fo). When a macro types uppercase letters it actually sends something like this: <Alt><Shift Down>fo<Shift Up>. The extra <Shift Down> and <Shift Up> can cause many programs to not correctly recognize the shortcut key sequence.
