Rebind a shortcut
Open the shortcut editor from the Keyboard Shortcuts button (the keyboard icon) in the editor toolbar.
- Search commands by name, or filter to the Custom, Conflicts, or Unassigned groups.
- Pick a command and press Record, then hold your modifiers and press the final key.
- If the combination is already in use, the editor flags the conflict. Choose Overwrite to reassign it, or pick different keys.
- Use Unbind to clear a binding, or add an alternate binding alongside the primary one.
Use Reset to restore a single command, or Reset All to return every shortcut to its default. You can Export your bindings to a preset file and Import them again on another machine.
