To customize keyboard shortcuts
1
Select an item in the scrolling list in the Customize dialog box.
If the item has a keyboard shortcut, the Current Shortcut Key box
shows the shortcut keys.
2
To assign a keyboard shortcut, press the keyboard keys you
want to use. The keys you type appear in the Press New Shortcut
Key box. Click Assign to assign the new keys to the item.
If the keys you type are assigned to another shortcut, the message
Currently assigned to: appears beneath the Press New Shortcut Key
box.
You cant assign single keys as shortcuts; e.g., you cant assign H
or F7 to an item.
To remove shortcut keys from the selected item, click
Remove.
To restore the default shortcut keys to all commands, click
Reset All.
To restore the default shortcut keys to one command, select
the command in the scrolling list and click Reset.
To assign shortcuts to inks
You can create shortcut keys for specific fill inks and pen inks.
1
To assign a shortcut key to a fill or pen ink, select the ink in the
scrolling list in the Customize dialog box.

Type the keyboard keys you want to use. The keys you type
appear in the Press New Shortcut Key box.
3
Under the box, select whether you want the ink to be a Fill or
Pen ink.

Click Assign to assign the new keys to the ink.
To place buttons on the Toolbar
Select an item in the scrolling list in the Customize dialog box. Inks,
Strokes, Object Styles, and Fonts appear on the Toolbar automati-
cally when you add them to the scrolling list. For Menus and Tools,
double-click the item in the scrolling list to add it to the Toolbar. A
button for the selected item appears on the Toolbar when it is dis-
played.
Tip
Certain keys are restricted, so
pressing them will not display
their values. Other shortcuts are
reserved by Canvas, so they can
be assigned, but not applied to
some procedures; e.g., Ctrl+1,
Ctrl+2, and Ctrl+3 cannot be
used in painting.
