modier keys on the virtual keyboard).

gray dot.
2 If necessary, click another modier key button (or a modier key on the virtual keyboard) to
create a combination.

combined modier keys.
Modify keyboard shortcuts and command sets
Customizing keyboard shortcuts in the Command Editor is fast and easy. By default, Aperture
uses a standard set of commands and keyboard shortcuts. To modify the keyboard shortcuts
assigned to those commands, you must rst make a copy of the default command set. After
you’ve duplicated and saved a new custom command set, you can export it to create a backup
or to share your personalized keyboard shortcuts with others. You can also import command sets
created by other users or applications.
Choose a command set
Do one of the following:
m Choose Aperture > Commands, then choose a command set from the submenu.
m If the Command Editor is already open, choose a command set from the pop-up menu in the
upper-left corner.
Choose a command set
from the pop-up menu.
After you choose a command set, the keyboard shortcuts in the set become active in Aperture.
Add or modify a keyboard shortcut
You can customize a command set by adding, modifying, or reassigning specic
keyboard shortcuts.
1 Using the search eld (or browsing the Command list) of the Command Editor, select the
command you want to assign a new keyboard shortcut to.
2 Using your physical keyboard, press the combination of keys you want to use as a shortcut for
the command (for example, Option-Shift-T).
If the key combination is already assigned to a command, an alert prompts you to conrm the
change. If you’re using the default command set, an alert prompts you to make a copy of the
default set.
