Editing Local Hot Keys
 
 
 

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

To edit a local hot key:

  1. In the module where you want to use the new hot keys, access the Hot Key Editor (Alt+Ctrl+F8).
  2. Select the hot key in the Hot Key catalogue.

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

  3. Click Clear in the Hot Key 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 Hot Key Manager area.
  6. Click Save to save the changes to the current user's Hot Key catalogue.

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