Keyboard shortcuts

Allows you to choose a set of predetermined shortcuts included with Dreamweaver, or any custom set you’ve defined. The predetermined sets are listed at the top of the menu. For example, if you are familiar with the shortcuts found in HomeSite or BBEdit, you can use those shortcuts by choosing the corresponding predetermined set.

Allows you to select a category of commands to edit. For example, you can edit menu commands, such as the Open command, or code editing commands, such as Balance Braces.

Displays the commands associated with the category you selected from the Commands pop‑up menu, along with the assigned shortcuts. The Menu Commands category displays this list as a tree view that replicates the structure of the menus. The other categories list the commands by name (such as Quit Application), in a flat list.

Displays all shortcuts assigned to the selected command.

Adds a shortcut to the current command. Click this button to add a blank line to the Shortcuts. Enter a new key combination and click Change to add a keyboard shortcut for this command. You can assign two different keyboard shortcuts for each command; if there are already two shortcuts assigned to a command, the Add Item button does nothing.

Removes the selected shortcut from the list of shortcuts.

Displays the key combination you enter when you’re adding or changing a shortcut.

Adds the key combination shown in the Press Key to the list of shortcuts, or changes the selected shortcut to the specified key combination.

Duplicates the current set. Give the new set a name; the default name is the current set’s name with the word copy appended.

Renames the current set.

Saves the current set in an HTML table format for easy viewing and printing. You can open the HTML file in your browser and print the shortcuts for easy reference.

Deletes a set. (You cannot delete the active set.)

The shortcuts assigned to the command appear in the Shortcuts.

• If there are fewer than two shortcuts already assigned to the command, click the Add Item (+) button. A new blank line appears in the Shortcuts and the insertion point moves to the Press Key.

• If there are already two shortcuts assigned to the command, select one of them (that one gets replaced by the new shortcut). Then click in the Press Key.

To change the shortcut, click the Change button.
