Customising keyboard shortcuts.
You can customise keyboard shortcuts by assigning keyboard shortcuts (or shortcut keys) to a command. You can also remove keyboard shortcuts.
Assign or remove a keyboard shortcut by using the keyboard
- If necessary, press ALT+F, T to open the Fusion FX Options dialog box, and press DOWN ARROW to select Customise Ribbon.
- Press the TAB key repeatedly until Customise is selected, and then press ENTER.
- In the Categories box, press DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW to select the category that contains the command or other item that you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to or remove a keyboard shortcut from.
- Press the TAB key to move to the Commands box.
- Press DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW to select the name of the command or other item that you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to or remove a keyboard shortcut from.
Any keyboard shortcuts that are currently assigned to that command or item appear in the Current keys box.
Assign a keyboard shortcut
Begin keyboard shortcuts with CTRL or a function key.
- Press the TAB key repeatedly until the cursor is in the Press new shortcut key box.
- Press the combination of keys that you want to assign. For example, press CTRL plus the key that you want to use.
- Look at Currently Keys to to see whether the combination of keys is already assigned to a command or other item. If the combination is already assigned, type a different combination.
IMPORTANT Reassigning a combination of keys means that you can no longer use the combination for its original purpose. For example, pressing CTRL+S saves a design. If you reassign CTRL+S to a new command or other item, you will not be able to save designs by pressing CTRL+S unless you restore the keyboard shortcut assignments to their original settings by clicking Reset All.
- Press the TAB key repeatedly until Assign is selected, and then press ENTER.
NOTE If you use a programmable keyboard, the key combination CTRL+ALT+F8 might already be reserved for initiating keyboard programming.
Remove a keyboard shortcut
- Press the SHIFT+TAB key repeatedly until the cursor is in the Current Keys box.
- Press DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW to select the keyboard shortcut that you want to remove.
- Press the TAB key repeatedly until Remove is selected, and then press ENTER.
