Customizing Shortcuts

• If a system shortcut is not working do Tools > Keyboard Shortcuts > Reset Shortcuts > 1- Reset System Shortcuts
• Another reason a shortcut may not be working is that the same shortcut was assigned to something else. Use View All Shortcuts to find what it is assigned to
• The Customize dialog is not fully modal. That is, you can click on menus and toolbars to re-arrange / customize these. Move, delete, copy (hold Ctrl key) commands can be done directly by drag-drop
• There are 2 menu systems in IQ. The main one and the one for the Doc pane. Each are customized separately
• The toolbar shown on Item Editors is not customizable
• Some commands don't show in this dialog (split buttons for example). To assign a shortcut to these, enter Customize mode and right-click directly on the button and enter the shortcut there. Use Ctrl+Shift+C for example:
   
  
• The process of assigning a shortcut  is different in the dialog and in the context menu:
  • Dialog: Click in the 'Press new shortcut key' text box and press the actual shortcut keys you want to use (i.e. press the Ctrl key plus the A key to set Ctrl+A as the shortcut
  • Context menu: Click the 'Shortcut' text box and type the shortcut as text (i.e. type Ctrl+A)
• The process is very similar to MS Office (pre-ribbon versions, such as XP, 2003).
• To quit the Customize mode, close the Customize dialog
