Delete

When a shortcut is duplicated with the

Duplicate

button, the

Delete

button

can be used to delete one of the duplicates. The

Delete

button is greyed out

(inactive) unless the selected operation is a duplicate.

Default

Clicking the

Default

button resets the keyboard shortcut to the default for the

selected operation.

Import

The

Import

button is used to import a keyboard shortcut file (.eap extension)

into EDIUS. Keyboards shortcut files with .dat extensions - from older ver-
sions of EDIUS - may also be imported.

Export

The

Export

button is used to export the current keyboard shortcut assign-

ments to a file which can then be imported into another EDIUS system.

Export is also useful when upgrading from one version of EDIUS to
another. Custom keyboard shortcuts are not always retained during an
upgrade. The existing keyboard shortcuts should be exported before the
upgrade and then imported after the upgrade to the new version.

Exported shortcuts are saved in a file with an .eap extension.

Making a Keyboard Shortcut Assignment

To make new keyboard shortcut assignment or modify existing assign-
ments, perform the following actions:

1.

Use the Category drop-down list or filter to narrow down the keyboard
shortcut operations.

2.

Select from the operation list, the EDIUS operation for which you want
to create a new assignment.

3.

Click the

Assign

button and select the keys which you want to assign the

the selected operation.

Note

If you select shortcut keys used in another operation, a confirmation dialog
will appear asking for confirmation to remove the shortcut assignment from
the current operation and assign it to the selected operation. See

Figure 155
