Editing Local Hotkeys

Almost every module has its own catalogue of hotkeys. The hotkeys listed in white are local hotkeys, and can be customized to suit your needs without affecting other modules. Modified hotkeys are saved as a user preference.

To edit a local hotkey:

1. In the module where you want to use the new hotkeys, access the Hotkey Editor (Alt+Ctrl+F8).
2. Select the hotkey in the Hotkey catalogue.

   The keystroke sequence and its description appear in the Keystroke Editor fields. If you select a map-to-button hotkey, the word “Yes” appears in the Map-to-Button field.

3. Click Clear in the Hotkey Manager area to clear the existing keystroke sequence.
4. Enter the new keystroke sequence by clicking keys in the Keystroke Editor or by pressing keys on your computer's keyboard.
5. Click Set in the Hotkey Manager area.
6. Click Save to save the changes to the current user's Hotkey catalogue.

   The edited hotkey is marked in the catalogue with a “Y” to show that it is user-modified.

   NoteIf you enter a keystroke sequence that is already in use, an error message is displayed.
