To generate a list of shortcuts:
1 Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2 For Set, select a shortcut set.
3 Click Show Set. A text file containing all current and undefined shortcuts for that set
will open.
To create a new shortcut set:
1 Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2 Click New Set.
3 Type a name for the new set and select a shortcut set in the Based On menu. Then
click OK.
To create or redefine a shortcut:
1 Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2 For Set, select a shortcut set or click New Set to create a new shortcut set.
Note: You cannot edit the Default or QuarkXPress shortcut sets. However, you can create
a new set based on one of these sets, and then edit the new set.
3 For Product Area, select the area containing the command you want to define or
redefine.
4 In the Commands list, select the command that you want to define or redefine.
5 In the New Shortcut box, press the keys for your new keyboard shortcut. If the key
sequence is currently being used for another command, InDesign displays that command
under Current Shortcuts. You can choose to change the original shortcut also, or try
another shortcut.
Note: Do not assign single-key shortcuts to menu commands because they interfere
with the typing of text. If an insertion point is active when you type a single-key shortcut,
InDesign inserts the character in the text instead of carrying out the command.
6 In the Context list, select the context in which you want the keyboard shortcut to
function. The context ensures that the shortcut performs the way you intended. For
example, you can assign Ctrl+G to group two cells together (Table context) and Ctrl+G
to insert special characters (Text context).
7 Do one of the following:
Click Assign to create a new shortcut where none currently exists.
•
Click Assign to add another shortcut to a command other than a menu command. If you
•
like, you can remove the previous shortcut after assigning the new one.
8 Click OK to close the dialog box, or click Save to keep the dialog box open while you
enter more shortcuts.
Using context menus
Unlike the menus that appear at the top of your screen, context-sensitive menus display
commands related to the active tool or selection. You can use context menus as a quick
way to choose commonly used commands.
