Customize keyboard shortcuts

Use the following options to add, delete, or edit keyboard shortcuts:

Current Set

Lets you choose a set of predetermined shortcuts (listed at the top of the menu), or any custom set you’ve

defined.

Commands

Lets you select a category of commands to edit (for example, menu commands). The command list

displays the commands associated with the category you selected from the Commands pop-up menu, along with the
assigned shortcuts. The Menu Commands category displays this list as a tree view that replicates the structure of the
menus. The other categories list the commands by name (such as Quit Application), in a flat list.

Shortcuts

Displays all shortcuts assigned to the selected command.

Add Item

Adds a new shortcut to the current command. To add a new blank line to the Shortcuts box, click this

button. To add a new keyboard shortcut for this command, enter a new key combination and click Change. Each
command can have two different keyboard shortcuts; if two shortcuts are already assigned to a command, the Add
Item button does nothing.

Remove Item

Removes the selected shortcut from the list of shortcuts.

Press Key

Displays the key combination you enter when you’re adding or changing a shortcut.

Change

Adds the key combination shown in the Press Key box to the list of shortcuts, or changes the selected

shortcut to the specified key combination.

Duplicate

Duplicates the current set. Give the new set a name; the default name is the current set’s name with

the word copy appended to it.

Rename

Renames the current set.

Export Set As HTML

Saves the current set in an HTML table format for easy viewing and printing. Open the

HTML file in your browser and print the shortcuts for easy reference.

Delete

Deletes a set. You cannot delete the active set.
