Keyboard Shortcuts
Shortcut keys can be used to start commands and to be temporary override
keys to execute a command or change a setting when a key is pressed.
Shortcut Keys
You can assign shortcut keys (sometimes called accelerator keys) to commands
you use frequently.
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.
