graphics\overbutt.gifConfiguring key bindings

Image Viewer provides preset keyboard shortcuts, or key bindings, that let you perform actions, such as menu commands, using keystrokes. For example, you can zoom in on an image by pressing Z. You can customize key bindings by changing the keystrokes associated with an action. You can reset key bindings to restore the default keystrokes associated with the action. You can also disable key bindings associated with actions.

When you configure key bindings, you can bind actions to one keystroke or a combination of keystrokes using the SHIFT, CONTROL, and ALT keys. Using combination keystrokes increases the number of keyboard shortcuts available.

To configure a key binding

1. Click Edit, Preferences.

2. Click the Keys tab, and choose the action to which you want to bind a keystroke.

3. Enable the Custom Key button in the Choose A Key For The Selected Action section.

4. Click the key button, and type the key you want to use as the shortcut.

5. Click Apply.
