Shortcut Customization

Shortcut Options 
 SceneComposer provides many default shortcuts available on a list that can be accessed from the "Help" > "Hot keys" menu or by using the shortcut Ctrl + H. 
 
 Due to the huge number of available hot-keys (shortcuts), it could be difficult to find a specific hot-key. In order to solve this issue, a search option is available in the upper side of the Hot Key panel ("Help" > "Hot Keys"). 
 
 It is possible to create a different profile (i.e. "Hot keys" list) on which the user can set his/her own shortcuts. In the "Environment" section from the "Preferences", the "Shortcuts" panel allows the creation of new shortcuts. 
 
 Practically speaking, the user may create as many new profiles as are necessary, every of them with its own shortcuts. Every of these new profiles can be saved, exported (to make a list of all new shortcuts available), or deleted. If the user creates a new shortcut based on a default shortcut from the "Default Profile", the new shortcut has to be associated with a new profile - created by using "Save As" option. 
 It is not possible to create a shortcut by using the "Shift" + key or "Alt" + key. 
 Create Shortcuts 
 To create new shortcuts there are three major steps: 
 Select one of the operations for which you would like to create a new shortcut in the left panel. 
 Here you have two different possibilities: 
 
 Remove the default shortcut by clicking "X" Button in column "Remove". Click in the "Press shortcut keys" field and press the new shortcut keys - a new shortcut is created.  
 Create a new shortcut (without removing the default shortcut) by clicking in the "Press shortcut keys" field and pressing the new shortcut keys. In that case the new shortcut will appear under the default one.

 You will be notified if a shortcut added in (8) or (9) is being used by another command. 
 
 
 
 After all the new shortcuts are created the "Save As" button may be used to create a new profile with a desired name or just press the "OK" button to save all newly created shortcuts in the "Custom" profile. 
 It is possible to use many shortcuts associated with the same operation in a specific profile. In this way, you have the opportunity to use different shortcuts for the same operation. 
 If the new selected shortcut is used for another operation, you will be notified in the field entitled "Currently used for". 
 
 If you would like to get back the default shortcuts, the "Restore defaults" button provides the possibility to get them back.
