Changing Hot Keys

You can configure shortcuts to use different key combinations than the default ones.

How to Change Hot Keys

  1. Select File > Options.
  2. Click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
  3. (Optional) 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.
  4. Select the option whose hot keys you want to change.
  5. In the Key Assignment section, select the hot key that you want to assign to the option.
  6. (Optional) In the Modifier Key Assignment section, 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.
  7. (Optional) In the Options section, 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.
  8. (Optional) In the Options section, you can return to the factory default keyboard shortcuts by clicking Reset to Factory Defaults.
  9. Click OK.
