To change or add default keyboard shortcuts:
| 1. | Click the drop-down arrow on any toolbar, for example: |
| 2. | Select Add or Remove Buttons > Customise. The Customise window displays. |
| 3. | In the Keyboard tab: |
| a. | Select the Category in which you want to create a shortcut, for example, Launch. Options for that category display in the Commands list. |
| b. | Select the Command that you want to create a shortcut for, for example, Launch Open Cut design module. |
|
The Category drop-down list corresponds to each item in the menu bar. It also lets you select additional items such as debugging, graphics and specialist insert commands. To display a list of all commands, select All Commands in the Category drop-down list. To help you establish which category each command exists in, XPAC prefixes each command with its category (for example, FilePrint). |
| 4. | Select the XPAC function that you want to use the shortcut in from the Set Accelerator for drop-down list. Select either: |
| a. | Default to apply the shortcut to core XPAC functions; or |
| b. | XPAC XCM for the scripting utility. |
| 5. | In the Press New Shortcut Key field, press the keyboard shortcut that you want to apply, for example, Shift+K. |
|
XPAC displays the status of the keyboard shortcut in the Assigned To field. For example, if the shortcut is available, [Unassigned] displays. Otherwise, XPAC displays the function that the shortcut is currently assigned to, for example, Undo. If required, assign another shortcut to the command before proceeding. |
| 6. | Click Assign. XPAC displays the assigned shortcut in the Current Keys field. |
To remove a shortcut:
| 1. | Select the Category and Command that you want to remove the shortcut for. |
|
If required, use the keyboard shortcut to access the command. |
| 2. | In the Current Keys field, select the shortcut that you want to remove. |
| 3. | Click Remove. |
XPAC removes the shortcut from the command.
|
If required, you can also reset all keyboard shortcuts to their default state by clicking Reset All. |
