When adding a keyboard shortcut to a tool, use the following guidelines:
- A keyboard shortcut can consist of up to 5 unique alphanumeric keys.
- You can specify a keyboard shortcut that uses Ctrl, Shift, and Alt with a single alphanumeric key. The sequence displays in the Press new keys field. For example, if you press Control and Shift and D, it displays as Ctrl+Shift+D.
- If a keyboard shortcut includes Alt, it must also include Ctrl and/or Shift.
- You cannot assign reserved keys.
- You can specify multiple keyboard shortcuts for each tool.
- You can assign the same keyboard shortcut to multiple tools. To select the desired tool when you execute the shortcut, use the status bar. See Using Keyboard Shortcuts.
