Anyone have a key assignment for 'edit item'?  I'd like to use the "E" key however strategically in use for Erase already.

[Jon Davis]

you can go into the system options and change the keyboard shortcuts to whatever you like.

[Gary McKeon]

I use 'V'. 

[Denis Reis]

I actually use the space bar for "edit item"...just because I use this command the most

[Paul James]

I use 'Q" for 'edit item', 'ctrl-Q' for 'repeat edit', and 'ctrl+shift-Q' for 'repeat edit box'.

I like using 'ctrl, shift, or alt' for related shortcut commands- like 'P' for segmented pointer and 'shift-P' for the straight pointer.

thanks for the input fellas

[Don Gibbons]

Q for Edit Item

R for Repeat Edit

V for Speed Notes

[Andrew VanderMeer]

I use "shift-e"

 

Is there a folder somewhere that the keyboard shortcuts are saved? I'd like to send my shortcuts to some one else so they can load them directly into system settings with having to manually input each one.

[Jon Davis]

You should be able to export your settings and send to them. Or back them up and send only that file.

Just go to ARCHIVE and save JUST your SYSTEM CONFIGURATION, and send it to the other person, he can then restore it to his machine. If he saves his system configuration beforehand, he can restore that later to put his system back the way it was originally if necessary.

Perfect, Thanks guys

I use "U" for EDIT

 

EXTENSION is "E"

 

ERASE is "X"

 

FILLET is "F"

I didn't know you could customize these keys (face in palm).  Can you add functions too?

[Keith Almond]

What do you mean by "functions"?

[Stephan Page]

I was wondering if there was a way to make the arrow keys pan the screen around

[Keith Almond]

I don't believe so, but why don't you try a shallow dive into the keyboard customizations and let us know. You can change virtually any keystroke, but I don't think that all the commands can be implemented.

I actually use a gaming keyboard with macro keys to the left side and have various commands assigned to them.

[David Zawadzki]

Space Bar?

[Kerry Calvert]

Here is something novel, I set the DELETE key as my ERASE key (matches other programs like Microsoft) and my ‘E’ key as my EDIT key.
