Setting Keyboard Shortcuts

See Also

You can edit keyboard settings for individual commands or switch between preconfigured sets of keyboard shortcuts. The shortcut sets are designed for users that are already used to the keyboard shortcuts of other editors and IDEs.

To add or remove a keyboard shortcut for a menu command:

  1. From the main window, choose Tools > Options.
  2. Click Keymap in the Options window.
  3. Select the command for which you want to change a keyboard shortcut.

    As you press the key sequence, the correct syntax for that sequence automatically appears in the text field. If you simultaneously hold down the Alt key, the Control key, and the J key, "Alt+Ctrl+J" appears. You can only specify a keyboard shortcut that is not being used by another command.

To switch between keyboard shortcut sets:

  1. From the main window, choose Tools > Options.
  2. Click Keymap in the Options window.
  3. Choose an existing keyboard set from the Profiles drop-down list at the top of the dialog box.

To create a new keyboard shortcut set:

  1. From the main window, choose Tools > Options.
  2. Click Keymap in the Options window.
  3. Choose an existing keyboard set from the Profiles drop-down list at the top of the dialog box.
  4. Click Duplicate to duplicate the currently selected shortcut set. Then edit the shortcuts in the new copy.
