Creating custom keyboard shortcuts
Use the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box to create your own shortcut keys. You can also remove
shortcuts, edit existing shortcuts, and select a predetermined set of shortcuts in the Keyboard
Shortcuts dialog box.
To customize keyboard shortcuts:
1. Select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
The Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box appears.
2. Add, delete, or edit keyboard shortcuts using the following options:
Current Set lets you choose a set of predetermined shortcuts included with Flash, or any
custom set you’ve defined. The predetermined sets are listed at the top of the menu. For
example, if you are familiar with the shortcuts found in Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia
Freehand, you can use those shortcuts by choosing the corresponding predetermined set.
Commands lets you select a category of commands to edit. For example, you can edit
menu commands, such as the Open command.
The command list displays the commands associated with the category you selected from
the Commands pop-up menu, along with the assigned shortcuts. The Menu Commands
category displays this list as a tree view that replicates the structure of the menus. The
other categories list the commands by name (such as Quit Application), in a flat list.
Shortcuts displays all shortcuts assigned to the selected command.
Add Item (+) adds a new shortcut to the current command. Click this button to add a new
blank line to the Shortcuts text box. Enter a new key combination and click Change to
add a new keyboard shortcut for this command. You can assign two different keyboard
shortcuts for each command; if there are already two shortcuts assigned to a command,
the Add Item button does nothing.
