Defining Key Sequences
You can define key sequences for a keyboard.
Prerequisite
On a Mac, commands for the main menus must consist of a single key command.
When using multiple key stroke commands, make sure that the key commands do not interfere with each other. For example, when you have one shortcut Shift+L, M and define another to be Shift+L, this second shortcut has no effect.
Procedure
- Select .
- In the commands list, select the command for which you want to define a key sequence, and click Edit Shortcut, or double-click the Key Sequence column of the corresponding command.
- In the Shortcut Definitions dialog, click in the Key Stroke fields and press the buttons that you want to use as the key sequence.
- Click OK.
Result
When you now press the keys/buttons specified in the dialog, the corresponding operation is performed. The key strokes must be executed one after the other.
