Customize Shortcuts (Editor for Desktop)

Important

The Editor for Web does not support custom shortcuts. The following procedure refers to menus and options that are available only in the Editor for Desktop.

Custom shortcuts can be added to the keyboard shortcuts in the Editor for Desktop. All the default shortcuts for commands in the File, Edit, Tools, and Format menus can be customized.

Some key combinations are reserved for system use and cannot be used to create custom shortcuts:

  • Shift+[key]

  • Alt+[character]

  • Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+P

To customize a shortcut, follow these steps:

  1. From the Tools menu, select Preferences .

    The Preferences window opens.

  2. Select the Shortcuts tab.

  3. Select or Search for a shortcut to be customized.

  4. Click a shortcut to modify.

    The shortcut changes to Press Keys.

  5. Type the new shortcut combination.

  6. Click Save.

    The custom shortcut is applied.
