I am not sure if it is only in pro or also in xtreme. Try it... you might like it.

Of all the extra features that 'Pro' has, custom key configuration is the only one that tempted me, but it doesn't justify an extra £70.00 for me.
This isn't a big deal, just curious. It seems that the space bar is under-used in hot-key combinations. It's the biggest and easiest to hit, so you would think it would be the most used.
Mark the batch file will not work with Xtreme 4.0 because the location of the hotkey.ini file is different than version 3.2.
The new location of the ini file is in C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme 4
The batch file determines if it is running on Vista or not and then copies (and renames) the ini file to the appropriate location for version 3.2
Thanks Bill. As I say it's not a problem, I've learned to do this with the Alt+S combi anyway.
Did I neglect to mention that with notepad and about 10 seconds you can change the spacebar back to the older functionality?
No need for the batch file.
Exit Xara Xtreme.
Use Windows Explorer (or My Computer) navigate to C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme 4.0
Right click on the hotkeys.ini file and select Edit from the pop-up menu.
Scroll to the bottom of the file.
Edit the line that begins Hotkey 0x20
and change the word Push to Selector.
Save the file and exit Notepad.
Thank You Bill - That saves a lot of hassle.
EDIT: Except it doesn't seem to work - When I go back into Xara it's still the same "Push" tool........ Do you need to reboot to make it work?
Keith, glad I could help.
Excellent, thanks again Bill, I'll give that a go.
Edit: No, that doesn't work for me either, even after a reboot. Thanks anyway Bill.
good one Bill :)
Hi guys, it's me again
Not doing to bad for only the second day play with version 4, but fraid I have to agree with Keith. Have modified the file as mentioned and get same results as Keith, even after rebooting. It's too bad cause I really, really do not like that stupied push tool, loved the old way of doing things........frank
