Key commands
To add a key command, proceed as follows:
1. Pull down the File menu and select “Key Commands…”.
The Key Commands dialog appears.
2. Use the list in the Commands column to navigate to
the desired category.
3. Click the plus-sign to open the category folder and
display the items it contains.
Note that you can also click the “global” plus and minus-signs in the top
left corner to open and close all category folders at once.
4. In the list, select the item to which you wish to assign a
key command.
Already assigned key commands are shown in the Keys column as well
as in the Keys section in the top right corner.
5. Alternatively, you can use the search function in the
dialog to find the desired item.
For a description of how to use the search function, see “Searching for
key commands” on page 477.
6. When you have found and selected the desired item,
click in the “Type in Key” field and enter a new key com-
mand.
You can choose between any single key or a combination of one or sev-
eral keys ([Alt]/[Option], [Ctrl]/[Command], [Shift]) plus any key. Just
press the keys you want to use.
7. If the key command you entered is already assigned to
another item or function, this is displayed below the “Type
in Key” field.
If a key command already is assigned to another function, you can either
ignore this and proceed to assign the key command to the new function
instead, or you can select another key command.
8. Click the Assign button above the field.
The new key command appears in the Keys List.
Note that you can have several different key commands for
the same function. So adding a key command to a function
that already has another key command will not replace the
key command previously defined for the function. If you
wish to remove an assigned key command, see “Removing
a key command” on page 478.
9. Click OK to exit the dialog.
Searching for key commands
If you want to know which key command is assigned to a
certain function in the program, you can use the Search
function in the Key Commands dialog:
1. Click in the search text field at the top left of the dialog
and type in the function for which you want to know the key
command.
This is a standard word search function, so you should type the command
as it is spelled in the program. Partial words can be used; e.g., to search
for all quantize related commands, type “Quantize”, “Quant”, etc.
2. Click the Search button (the magnifying glass icon).
The search is conducted and the first matching command is selected
and displayed in the commands list below. The keys column and the keys
list show the assigned key commands, if any.
3. To search for more commands containing the word(s)
you entered, click the Search button again.
4. When you’re done, click OK to close the dialog.
If a selected item or function has a key command
assigned already, it is displayed here…
…and here.
!
If the key command you enter is already assigned to
another function, you will get a warning message
asking if you want to reassign the command to the
new function instead, or cancel the operation.
