Hello, Please, don't take me as too much exacting man, but Mojca's (partial) solution \def\hotkey#1{\inframed[corner=00]{\ #1\ }} is more suitable for me than the Wolfgangs's (complete) one: \defineframed [dohotkey] [strut=yes,corner=00,frameoffset=-0.2em,location=low] \definehspace[hotkey][0.6em] \def\hotkey#1{\dohotkey{\hspace[hotkey]#1\hspace[hotkey]}} The latter add space between surrounding words proportionally to the in-frame space. The ideal solution would be \def\hotkey#1{\inframed[corner=00, location=low, height=\lineheight]{\ #1\ }} but it doesn't work. Maybe it is a bug, ideed? Best, Vyatcheslav
