- "Keyboard Shortcut Wizard" will appear. Using this wizard new
- shortcut can be created: on the first page of the wizard you can
- select an action that will be associated with a new keyboard
- shortcut. Select appropriate action and click the "Next" button.
-
- On the next page you can tune up the action you have
- selected (parameters available for changing depends of the selected
- action).
-
- The third page allows you to select the shortcut key for
- the new shortcut, you can do it by two ways: press shorcut key
- conbination, or select appropriate key from the list of all
- available keys.
-
- The last wizard's page allows you to change the
- name and the icon for the new shortcut (when you'll come to the
- last page it will already contain name and icon that were
- automatically selected for your new shortcut). After you click
- "Finish" button, the new keyboard shortcut will be finally created
- and available for using.
-
- Now, when you press shortcut key combination, the associated action
- will be performed.
-
- You can edit any shortcut by double clicking it, or opening
- "Properties" using the context menu or the "Properties" toolbar
- button. Properties window will appear. It contain three tabs:
