Setting a shortcut for "Highlight on Screen" function

Is there a possibility to assign a shortcut to the entry "Highlight on Screen" in the Aliases window? The right-click followed by a left-click is kind of annoying when you do this a dozen times a day.

    There is a button on screen, actually, that gets around having to use the right-click context menu.  highlight the Alias item you want and click that button.  See the screenshot below.



    This is in TC 8.50.

    Strangely, the button you mentioned is disabled here. But I found another good way:



    You can map



    Tools - Customize Keyboard - Object Browser - Map Object...



    with ALT+M for example.

      3 years later. Still can't find this option. I would be very glad to have "Highlight on Screen" as shortcut
