point. You are strongly advised to go back and fix any clashes because otherwise your
chosen shortcuts may not work. Click the Back button on the warning alert to go back.
When you do this the first keypress with clashes is automatically selected for you, so
you can quickly resolve it.
If no clashes are reported when you click the OK button, your new shortcuts have
been defined successfully.
Example
Here's an example of the process you would go through if you wanted to use "Ctrl +
P" to bring up the Print Options dialog.
1. Bring up the Shortcuts Tool dialog by choosing "Utilities -> Customize Key
Shortcuts".
2. The Print Options command is in the File menu, so choose the "File" category
from the Commands category list.
3. Select the Print Options command in the list of commands.
4. Press "Ctrl + P". You'll see "Ctrl + P" appear in the Keypress field. Also the
"Print Options..." command is now shown as having the "Ctrl + P" shortcut in
the Commands list.
5. You can also see that a clash has been identified. The Clashes list shows that
Ctrl-P is now assigned to BOTH "Print..." and "Print Options...".
6. Select "Print..." in the Clashes list and then click the button below it to remove
this shortcut. This eliminates the clash.
7. Now the Clashes list is empty, indicating that there are no clashes for "Ctrl +
P".
8. Click Ok to confirm your changes.
Now when you press "Ctrl + P" the Print Options dialog appears.
Temporary key shortcuts
Three of the most commonly used tools (Selector, Push and Zoom) have special
shortcuts that allow quick temporary selection of the tool, and then return to the
previously used tool after use.
What’s more these shortcuts can be used two ways; either as a toggle (press the key
once and it selects the tool, press it again and it returns to the previous) or as a
temporary switch (hold key down and it switches to the tool, and release key to return
to the previous tool).
The default key shortcuts for these tools are:
• "Alt + Z" for Zoom.
• Space or "Alt + X" for Push.
• "Alt + S" for Selector Tool.
