Creating New Local Hot Keys

You can create new map-to-button hot keys only. You cannot create new functional hot keys. New hot keys are saved as a user preference.

To create a map-to-button hot key:

1. With the Hot Key Editor open, click the menu button for which you want to create the hot key.
   NoteIf the button you want to click is hidden by the Hot Key Editor, click the Hide Panel button.

   If the menu button you selected is a map-to-button hot key, Yes appears in the Map to Button field, and the name of the menu button appears in the Description field.

2. Enter the new keystroke sequence by clicking keys in the Keystroke Editor (or your computer's keyboard). The new keystroke appears in the Keystroke field.
3. If the menu button is a field, you can set a default value type and increment in the Value Type box and Increment field.
4. If the menu button is an option box, you can enable Cycle Pop-up to allow your new hot key to cycle through the options each time it is pressed.
5. Click Set in the Hot Key Manager area.
6. Click Save to save the changes to the current user's Hot Key catalogue.
