Shortcuts and hotkeys
Hotkeys are organized into atom labels, bond types, and functions (such as adding a charge or displaying a bond.
Shortcuts are organized by the menu on which the command is found).
Note: You can modify hotkeys and nicknames. The tables in this section refer to the default values.
Atom keys
Use atom keys to insert atoms in a drawing using your keyboard. For example, place your mouse over an atom and
press ‘3’ to add a tert-butyl group.
