Customizing keyboard shortcuts
You can choose keyboard shortcuts in Flash to match the shortcuts you use in other applications, or to streamline your Flash workflow. By default, Flash uses built-in keyboard shortcuts designed for the Flash application. You can also select a built-in keyboard shortcut set from one of several popular graphics applications, including Fireworks, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop.
To create a custom keyboard shortcut set, you duplicate an existing set, and then add or remove shortcuts from the new set. You can delete custom shortcut sets.

Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. |

In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, choose a shortcut set from the Current Set pop-up menu. |

Select a keyboard shortcut set as described above. |

Click the Duplicate Set button. |
