About the “Reset” and “Reset All” functions
These two buttons in the Key Commands dialog will both
restore the default settings. The following rules apply:
• “Reset” will restore the default key command setting for
the function selected in the Commands list.
• “Reset All” will restore the default key commands for all
commands.
Setting up tool modifier keys
A tool modifier key is a key you can press to get an alter-
nate function when using a tool. For example, clicking and
dragging an event with the Arrow tool normally moves it –
holding down a modifier key (by default [Alt]/[Option]) will
copy it instead.
The default assignments for tool modifier keys can be
found in the Preferences (Editing–Tool Modifiers page).
Here, you can also edit them:
1. Open the Preferences dialog and select the Editing–
Tool Modifiers page.
2. Select an option in the Categories list, and locate the
action for which you want to edit the modifier key.
For example, the “Copy” action mentioned above resides in the category
“Drag & Drop”.
3. Select the action in the Action list.
4. Hold down the desired modifier key(s) and click the
Assign button.
The current modifier keys for the action are replaced. If the modifier keys
you pressed are already assigned to another tool, you will be asked
whether you want to overwrite them. If you do, this will leave the other
tool without any modifier keys assigned.
5. When you’re done, click OK to apply the changes and
close the dialog.
!
Note that the “Reset All” operation will cause any
changes made to the default key commands to be
lost! If you want to be able to revert to these settings
again, make sure to save them first!
