Oxygen XML Forum

Hi,

we are about to switch to keywords instead of variables. Now when I want to insert a new <keyword> into my text, I thought that double-clicking the keyword I want in the "DITA Reusable Components" window would insert a <keyword> element. However, it inserts a <ph> element with a "keyref" attribute. It works fine, but before discovering the "DITA Reusable Components" window we've already inserted a lot of <keyword> elements and would like to stick to this semantic.

A work-around is to right click the keyword in the list, select "Insert as Keyref" and then select "keyword" from the menu.

But my question: Is there a way to change the double-click behavior to insert <keyword> instead of <ph>?

We are using Oxygen 19 with a customized framework.

Thank you,

Hi,

We do not yet have a setting to control if a ph or a keyword with keyref should be inserted when double clicking a key in the DITA Reusable Components view Keys tab.
We have an issue already registered for this and we'll update this forum thread when the issue will be fixed.
Link to a thread where I try to figure out what the difference would be between using ph or keyword with keyref:
