The Shortcuts tab of the Customize dialog box enables you to create and modify keyboard shortcuts.
The program enables you to assign shortcut keys to commands. The Shortcuts tab contains the following tools that enable you to assign, remove or modify the shortcuts:
| Category: | Select the command category that contains the command of which you want to assign or change the shortcut keys. |
| Commands: | Choose from the list of commands belonging to the selected category the one you need. |
| Description: | A short description of the command. It appears only when a command is selected from the Commands: list. |
| Current keys: | The list of shortcut keys associated to the command selected from the Commands: list. Although the program does not allow you to assign the same shortcut to different commands, it will accept multiple shortcuts to the same command. |
| Press a new shortcut key: | After you click in this box, the system captures any combination of keys you press on the keyboard; this will become the new shortcut to the selected command. |
| Currently assigned to: | This textbox appears only when entering a new shortcut of the combination you are trying to use. Note that if you assign the shortcut to the current command, it will be removed automatically from the old command. |
| Assign | Click this button to assign the newly defined shortcut. The command is enabled only if you enter a valid shortcut in the Press a new shortcut key: field; some shortcuts, such as CTRL+O – File Open, cannot be changed. If you try to assign these, the command will remain disabled. |
| Remove | Click this button to remove the shortcut highlighted in the Current keys: list. Some shortcuts, such as CTRL+O – File Open, cannot be removed. If you select one of these, the command will remain disabled. |
| Reset All | Removes all custom assigned shortcuts if you click OK in the confirmation dialog. |
