See the default key for any action¶
The action table in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog shows the default key for every action alongside its current binding, so you can check what a shortcut was originally set to without changing anything.
Before you start¶
- No radio connection is required.
Steps¶
- Click
View > Configure Shortcuts...to open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. - In the action table, locate the action you want to check. Each row shows four columns: Action, Category, Current Key, and Default Key.
- Read the value in the Default Key column for that action.
To narrow the list, type part of the action name into the Filter: field, or select a category from the Category: combo box above the table.

Reset to Default. See Reset one shortcut to its default key.
