Assigning Custom Keyboard Shortcuts
The Smart Client also features a small number of standard keyboard shortcuts, immediately ready
for use (see Using Standard Keyboard Shortcuts on page 97 for more information). In addition to
the standard keyboard shortcuts, you are able to assign shortcut key combinations to particular
actions in your Smart Client.
1. Click the Show Application Menu button in the Smart Client’s top bar.
2. From the menu that appears, select Keyboard Setup. The Keyboard Setup window will
appear.
3. When the Keyboard Setup window appears, click inside the Press shortcut key field, then
press the required key combination. This will display the pressed key combination in the
Press shortcut key field. Now you need to specify which command you want to associate
with the key combination.
Note: Key combinations must begin with CTRL or ALT. Example: CTRL + B (i.e. first
pressing the CTRL key, then—while still pressing the CTRL key—pressing the B key).
4. In the Categories list, select the required
category of commands. Based on your
selection, relevant commands will be
displayed in the Commands list in the right
part of the window.
For example, selecting Application will give
you access to commands related to the
behavior of Smart Client application, such
as commands for minimizing and
maximizing the Smart Client window.
Tip: The Categories list contains a
category called Views.All. When you select
this category, all your views will be listed
in the Commands list. This allows you
create very useful keyboard shortcuts for
quickly accessing individual views.
5. In the Commands list, select the required
command for the shortcut key
combination.
Note: Some commands will only work when the keyboard shortcut is used in certain
contexts. For example, a keyboard shortcut with a PTZ-related command will only work
when using a PTZ camera.
6. In the Use new shortcut in list, select when the shortcut key combination should apply:
• Global: When working on any of the Smart Client’s three tabs (Live, Browse
and Setup).
• Browse Mode: When working on the Smart Client’s Browse tab only.
• Live Mode: When working on the Smart Client’s Live tab only.
• Setup Mode: When working on the Smart Client’s Setup tab only.
