Configuring a Hotkey

A hotkey is comprised of a modifier and a key. To configure a hotkey, select the action you want, and click on the Modify button or double click the action.   The Hotkey Configuration dialog box will appear. Type the key you wish to use in the Key field, then select the key you want to use as the modifier.  The modifier key can be either the Ctrl, Alt, Shift or Windows key.

If you want the hotkey to be enabled, make sure you check the Enabled check box.
