Customize Interface > Keyboard

This tab defines control key combination bindings of the system commands. The tab provides for creating new key combinations, assigning them to commands, deleting previously assigned bindings, and resetting (restoring the original system settings) of all key combinations.

The drop down list Category: enables to choose a category which contains the command being edited. The commands, included into the selected category, are shown in the list Commands:.

The Key assignments pane displays all control keys for each particular command currently selected in the Commands list. If the pane stays empty upon selecting a command, no key combination is assigned to this command.

To assign a control key combination to a command, enter the new combination in the Press new shortcut key input box.

To create a new key combination, you need to:

•Set the new key combination using the keyboard, for example, simultaneously press <Ctrl><Alt><F12>. The input box will read, Ctrl+Alt+F12. If a wrong combination is entered, simply enter the right combination over again, without trying to delete anything.
