About keyboard shortcuts
Adobe Encore DVD provides a set of keyboard shortcuts. Because many commands and buttons have keyboard
equivalents, you can create a DVD with minimal use of the mouse.
To find the keyboard shortcut for a tool, button, or menu command
❖ Do one of the following:
• For a tool or button, hold the pointer over the tool or button until its tool tip appears. If available, the keyboard
shortcut appears in the tool tip after the tool description.
• For menu commands, look for the keyboard shortcut at the right of the command.
• For keyboard shortcuts not shown in tool tips or on menus, the Shortcuts Appendix.
