Ctrl-Shift-J

Does anyone know what this feature is for? I had someone stumble across it by mistake. She defined a "variable" to be one "M/ϕ" and the display actually showed M directly over the ϕ. The whole thing shows up inside of square brackets. She proceeded to assign a value to this expression, and it can be used later on as if it were a variable (as long as the square brackets are also used). Is this the intent of the feature?

It's a documented feature "chemistry notation".

Search 'ctrl][shift]J' in the Mathcad help menu to find more info.

I wasn't able to find it in the (PDF) manual.

And what about [Ctrl] [Shift] N

[Ctrl][Shift]N is the Namespace Operator

(not sure if you were asking or just throwing out a teaser?)

Also, all keyboard shortcuts for Mathcad 15 can be found in the attachment (or here: http://communities.ptc.com/docs/DOC-2476).
