Assigning Keyboard Shortcuts
Specifying shortcuts for commands is easy. You don’t have to set up the entire keyboard
with your preferred shortcuts—you can choose specific menu sets or command groups.
For example, you can specify keyboard shortcuts for all commands in the File menu or
for all render functions.
Important: Before you begin specifying keyboard shortcuts, make sure you choose the
appropriate language and input type. For more information, see “Using Different Keyboards
and Languages.”
To see which commands have a key or key combination assigned to them
µ
Enter a key or key combination in the search field.
If you press the E key,
all commands that use
that key are shown.
To assign keyboard shortcuts to commands
1 Choose Tools > Keyboard Layout > Customize.
The Keyboard Layout window appears.
2 In the Keyboard Layout window, click the Lock button in the lower-left corner.
3 Click a tab to choose a modifier key or combination of modifier keys.
The keyboard layout for commands that use that modifier key is shown.
4 If you want to create an entirely new layout, click Clear. When a message appears asking
if you want to clear the keyboard layout, click Yes.
All existing keyboard shortcuts in all tabs are cleared and the keys appear blank (no icons
are displayed).
5 In the command list area, do one of the following:
• Click a disclosure triangle to display commands within a menu set or command group.
• Click in the search field. (Commands are displayed alphabetically.)
