Shortcuts tab

You can use this tab to specify keyboard shortcuts for specific commands. You can also change existing keyboard shortcuts.

Category (drop-down list)

Contains a list of all command categories. When you select a category, all commands in that category will be displayed. Select All commands to display all existing commands in the command list.

The name of a category usually matches the name of the menu item that contains the commands in that category. The Elements tree category contains commands from the FlexiLayout menu in the case of a flexible layout project or commands from the Classifier menu item in the case of a classifier project.

Command list

This is a list of all commands in the selected category. The Action column contains the names of commands and the HotKey column contains one of the keyboard shortcuts for commands. Every command can have several keyboard shortcuts.

To sort commands by names or keyboard shortcuts, click the name of either the Action or the HotKey column.

Current shortcuts box

When you select a command, all of its keyboard shortcuts will be displayed in the Current shortcuts box on the right.

Description area

This area contains a short description of the selected command.

Press new shortcut key box

This box is used for entering keyboard shortcuts for commands.

To specify a keyboard shortcut:

  • Click the Press new shortcut key box
  • Press the desired key or combination of keys on the keyboard
  • Click the Assign button to assign the key or keys you pressed to the command.
  • To delete a keyboard shortcut, press the Backspaсe key.

If you try to assign a keyboard shortcut which is already in use to another command, a message that contains the name of the command to which the keyboard shortcut is already assigned will be displayed. Click Yes to reassign the keyboard shortcut, or click No to cancel.

Note. A keyboard shortcut can be assigned to multiple commands provided that these commands are never available at the same time. For example, the Match, Classify, and the Generate Alternatives command from the training mode are assigned to Ctrl+E by default.

Note. Some keyboard shortcuts are reserved for specific commands and cannot be assigned to other commands. For example, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Y, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Ins, Shift+Ins and Del.
