Operation Manual

The new duplicate command set is saved and appears as an item in both the pop-up
menu in the Command Editor and the Commands submenu of the Aperture menu.
Now that you have a duplicate set of assigned keyboard shortcuts, you can modify the
individual key assignments to create new or modified keyboard shortcuts.
To add or modify a keyboard shortcut
1 Using the search field (or browsing the Command list) of the Command Editor, select the
command to which you want to assign a new keyboard shortcut.
2 Using your physical keyboard, press the combination of keys you want to use as a shortcut
for the command (for example, Shift-Option-T).
Note: When you assign a key combination to a command, the Delete key becomes an
assignable key when one of the modifier keys (Command, Shift, Option, or Control) is
held down. See how to delete a command set below.
If the key combination is not already assigned to a command, the virtual keyboard updates
to show the new key assignment. A gray dot appears on the newly assigned key or keys,
and a color is applied if the command belongs to a color-coded command group.
If the key combination is already assigned to a command, Aperture displays the current
assignment and prompts you to confirm the change.
After you make changes to the command set, you can save the changes.
To save a command set
µ
Click the Save button in the lower-right corner of the Command Editor.
If you close the Command Editor with unsaved changes, Aperture prompts you to save
the command set.
To delete a command set
1 Make sure the command set you want to delete is the active command set, then choose
Delete from the pop-up menu at the top of the Command Editor.
A dialog appears.
2 Click Delete.
The command set is removed, and the default command set becomes the active set of
commands.
Importing and Exporting Command Sets
After you save a command set, you may want to export it to create a backup or to share
the new command set with others. Exported command sets are saved in a file that can
be imported back into Aperture at a later time.
