OpenLP gives you the ability to use keyboard shortcuts either by changing the
2011-07-08 14:18:30 +00:00
default primary ones already assigned or by adding an alternate shortcut that
2011-07-08 18:25:03 +00:00
will work alongside the primary shortcut.

Across the top of the list are Action, Shortcut and Alternate.
**Action**
This is the name of the of the shortcut you can change. It could be part of
the menu selection or a toolbar item.
**Shortcut**
This is the keyboard shortcut assigned to the action beside it.
**Alternate**
This is the alternate shortcut you can assign to the action. Each Action can
have two different shortcuts assigned to it.
Changing a Shortcut
-------------------
|configshortcut| **Capture shortcut.**
To change a shortcut click on an Action in the list that you would like to
modify. Click on the left |configshortcut| to add or modify the default
shortcut and the right |configshortcut| to modify or add an alternate
shortcut. After you click on one of the boxes you can type in the key or
combination of keys you want to use for your shortcut.
|clearshortcut| **Restore the default shortcut of this action.**
If you are not happy with your shortcut selection you can restore it to its
default value by clicking the |clearshortcut| icon next to the shortcut. This
will set the shortcut to its original state.
If there is a shortcut you want to remove from an action and not assign another
one you can click on |configshortcut| twice. This will remove the shortcut.
All Actions that you click on will show either Default or Custom.
