Shortcut keys for recording
The following table lists the default shortcut keys used during recording. These shortcuts should be used only after you
start the recording process. The same keys function differently when you are editing a project.
Change shortcut keys for recording
1 Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Captivate > Preferences (Mac OS).
2 In the Preferences dialog box, select Keys from the Recording menu.
3 To change keys, click once in one of the text boxes and, on the keyboard, press the key or key combination you want
to use. For example, click inside the To Stop Recording text box and then press Shift+Alt+4. The key combination
you entered now appears in the To Stop Recording text box. You can use almost any key, including the Control,
Alt, Shift+Control, and Shift+Alt keys. For example, you could change the stop recording key to Alt+R.
Change shortcut keys for an object
You can specify a new shortcut key for interactive objects such as buttons, text entry boxes, and click boxes.
1 Select the object.
2 Click the Shortcut text box in the Action area of the Properties panel. The box gets highlighted in blue.
3 Using your keyboard, set a key combination, for example, Control+Shift+K, Control+Right Arrow, or
Backspace+M.
