Keyboard Shortcuts<br />

Shortcut Keys<br />

Shortcut keys can be used to start commands and to be temporary override<br />

keys to execute a command or change a setting when a key is pressed.<br />

You can assign shortcut keys (sometimes called accelerator keys) to commands<br />

you use frequently.<br />

Overview of Shortcut Keys<br />

Shortcut keys are key combinations that start commands. For example, you<br />

can press Ctrl+O to open a file and Ctrl+S to save a file, which is the same as<br />

clicking Open and Save on the Quick Access toolbar or File menu.<br />

To create a shortcut key, you start by dragging a command from the<br />

Commands List pane to the Shortcut Keys node in the <strong>Customization</strong>s In pane. Once you create a shortcut key, you assign a key combination<br />

to it.<br />

The following table shows the properties of the Save shortcut key as they<br />
