Overview of Shortcut Keys
Shortcut keys are key combinations that start commands. For example, you
can press Ctrl+O to open a file and Ctrl+S to save a file, which is the same as
clicking Open and Save on the Quick Access toolbar or File menu.
To create a shortcut key, you start by dragging a command from the
Commands List pane to the Shortcut Keys node in the Customizations In <file
name> pane. Once you create a shortcut key, you assign a key combination
to it.
The following table shows the properties of the Save shortcut key as they
appear in the Properties pane.
