Keyboard shortcuts
Last updated 6/5/2015
• To change a shortcut, click in the Shortcut column of the scroll list and type a new shortcut. If you enter a shortcut
that is already assigned to another command or tool, an alert appears at the bottom of the dialog box. Click Undo
to undo the change, or click Go To to go to the other command or tool and assign it a new shortcut. In the Symbol
column, type the symbol that will appear in the menu or tool tip for the command or tool. You can use any of the
characters that are allowed in the Shortcut column.
note: Mac OS does not allow you to assign Command+Option+8 as a menu shortcut.
• To save changes to the current set of shortcuts, click OK. (You can’t save changes to the set named Illustrator
Defaults.)
• To save a new set of shortcuts, click Save. Enter a name for the new set, and click OK. The new key set will appear
in the pop-up menu under the new name.
• To delete the set of shortcuts, click Delete. (You can’t delete the set named Illustrator Defaults.)
• To export the displayed set of shortcuts into a text file, click Export Text. In the Save Key Set File As dialog box,
enter a filename for the current key set that you are saving, and click Save. You can use this text file to print out
a copy of your keyboard shortcuts.
