Customizing keyboard shortcuts
There are pre-defined keyboard shortcuts for commands that you use frequently in Manage mode and View mode. You can change pre-defined shortcuts, or create keyboard shortcuts for commands that do not currently have shortcuts.
Some commands, such as Open and Copy, are available in both Manage mode and View mode. You can use the same keyboard shortcut for these commands in Manage mode and the View mode, or you can define different shortcuts for these commands in Manage mode and View mode. To define a shortcut for a command in a specific mode, open the Customize dialog from that mode.
To customize keyboard shortcuts:
- Do one of the following:
- In Manage mode, click View | Toolbars, and then select Customize.
- In Manage mode, click the drop-down arrow, located to the right of the Main toolbar or File List toolbar, and then select Customize.
- In View mode, click the drop-down arrow, located to the right of the Bottom toolbar, select Add or Remove Buttons, and then select Customize.
