Options Dialog—Keyboard Shortcuts Tab

Option

Description

Command Scope

Select whether the custom shortcut will be available throughout the interface (Global) or just in the XML Editor. The options available on the tab change depending on your selection. See Changing Hot Keys.

Note If you set one shortcut with XML Editor selected and another with Global selected, the XML Editor shortcut has precedence.

Option/Shortcut

Select the option whose hot keys you want to change. You can click the Option or Shortcut column headings to sort the columns alphabetically. This can help you more easily find a command or see which shortcut keys are free to use.

Key Assignment

Select the hot key that you want to assign to the option.

Other commands using shortcut

If you create a shortcut that is already being used, this field displays the conflicting command.

Modifier Key Assignment

You can select the Control Key, Shift Key, and/or Alt Key check boxes if you want to use a combination for the shortcut. For example, if you select D from the list to the right and add check marks to the Shift Key and Alt Key boxes, the new shortcut for the option will be SHIFT+ALT+D.

Unlisted Commands

You can assign a hot key to a command that does not appear in the grid above by clicking Unlisted Commands. In the Other Commands dialog, select a command, then click OK. The unlisted command appears in the grid.

Reset to Factory Defaults

This returns the tab to the factory default keyboard shortcuts.
