2.8 Profiles
Profiles save specific group arrangements and on-screen shortcuts, allowing different shortcut settings for
a single application. Many applications have different modes for different tasks. By switching between
Profiles, new shortcuts can be displayed depending on the current task. Profiles also allow more than one
user to choose their preferred layout.
To create a Profile, click on one of the
three Profile options at the bottom of the
Master Palette, and begin arranging keys.
The Profile will be saved in the
background. To create another profile, click
on another Profile option key. To rename a
Profile, double click on the Profile key.
Profiles can be Imported and Exported
through the File menu under the Settings
window. There will be two options: “Import
Profile” and “Export Profile”.
“Import Profile” imports a single Profile for the application from which the Profile was exported. When
importing a Profile you will be given the option to choose which of the three Profiles to overwrite. The
Profile you choose to overwrite will be erased.
“Export Profile” exports a single Profile for the currently selected application.
If you choose to have the Master Palette hidden or docked, you can also select a profile by right clicking
on the KillerKeys program icon in the bottom right notification area of your computer.
When Exporting a Profile, the version number of your KillerKeys program will be added to the
name of the file; for example “Word 2010_v1.0.kpf”. Only profile file versions equal to or prior to
the installed version of KillerKeys can be installed. Profiles that come from a new version of
KillerKeys than you’re running cannot be installed. Your KillerKeys version number can be found
in the Settings Window, under the Help menu, by clicking the option “About KillerKeys”.
