Rebind a keyboard shortcut¶

Use the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog to assign a different key to any action, or to reassign a key that is already in use.

Before you start¶

No radio connection is required to edit shortcuts.
Confirm that keyboard shortcut processing is enabled via View > Keyboard Shortcuts (checkable item).

Open View > Configure Shortcuts....
Find the action you want to rebind. Either:
Click the target key on the keyboard map to select it, or
Locate the action in the action table. The table columns are Action, Category, Current Key, and Default Key. Use the Filter: field or the Category: combo box to narrow the list.
Click the key on the keyboard map that you want to use as the new binding. The Key: indicator updates to show the selected key.
In the Action: combo box, select the action you want to assign to that key.
If the key is already bound to a different action, a conflict dialog appears: "Key [X] is currently bound to 'Y'. Reassign it?" Click Yes to proceed or No to cancel.
The action table refreshes automatically. Confirm the Current Key column shows your new binding.
Click Close.

Control	Kind	Behavior
Keyboard map	Visual display	QWERTY layout. Click a key to select it.
Key:	Indicator	Shows the currently selected key. Default: `(none)`.
Action:	Combo box	Assigns an action to the selected key.
Category	Indicator	Shows the category of the action assigned to the selected key.
Clear	Button	Removes the action assignment from the selected key.
Reset to Default	Button	Restores the default key for the action on the selected key.
Filter:	Text field	Filters the action table by text.
Category:	Combo box	Filters the action table by category.
Action table	List	All actions with columns: Action, Category, Current Key, Default Key.
Reset All to Defaults	Button	Resets every binding to its default key. Prompts for confirmation.
Close	Button	Closes the dialog.

Keys are color-coded on the keyboard map by category. A legend below the map identifies each category color.
To remove a binding without assigning a replacement, select the key on the keyboard map and click Clear.
To find what key an action uses by default without changing anything, check the Default Key column in the action table.

The Action: combo box does not respond after selecting a key — No key is selected. The Key: indicator must show a key name (not (none)) before the Action: combo box takes effect. Click a key on the keyboard map first.
A key cannot be reassigned and the conflict dialog keeps appearing — Click Yes in the conflict dialog to confirm the reassignment. Clicking No cancels the change and leaves the original binding intact.
