Figure 13-4. Keyboard Shortcuts Editor

The commands and options available in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog include:

• Shortcut scheme: The drop-down lists lets you select a previously-saved scheme. Click OK to accept the changes.

• Save As …: Creates a new shortcut scheme by copying the contents of the currently-selected scheme. After clicking Save As ..., you are asked to specify a unique name for the new shortcut scheme.

• Delete: Deletes user-defined shortcut schemes. If the button is not enabled, the scheme cannot be deleted.

The lower part of the dialog is where you change the shortcut mappings:

• Show commands containing: This is a filter enabling you to search the listed commands for a specific word. All commands containing that word are listed in the pane below. For example, type in pins to display all commands containing the word pins.

• Shortcut(s) for selected command: Displays the shortcut currently defined for the selected command. If blank, no shortcut is defined. A command can be assigned more than one shortcut.

• Remove: Deletes the command’s keyboard shortcut mapping.

• Press shortcut key: Displays the pressed key combination. If the key combination is already assigned to an action (for example, Copy), this action is displayed under Shortcuts currently used by.

• Assign: Assigns the selected shortcut to the selected command. The button is enabled when you press a unique key combination. In other words, you cannot assign an already-used shortcut.
  
  If you click Assign with the default scheme selected, you are prompted to specify a new name for the scheme. This is because the default scheme cannot be modified (it is read-only).
