    Default Shortcut keys

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi all

    I'm wondering, to what extent can I customise my shortcut keys on my keyboard?
    Example, currently AC has "C" set to CIRCLE, and "CO" or "CP" as COPY. Id like to assign "C" to COPY instead as I use it constantly and would work quicker this way.
    Is it possible?

    Thanks

    That is very simply changed.

    The image shows WHERE you change them, below the area which I circled.
    Everything you see below that point constitutes a small portion of my custom shortcalls for commands.

    You can access them like this TOOLS > CUSTOMIZE> EDIT PROGRAM PARAMETERS

    Do not change anything above the USER DEFINED COMMAND ALIASES SECTION, leave them just as they are.

    command ALIASEDIT to c...

    oh. LT... don't know if ALIASEDIT will work then.

    LT must have EXPRESS TOOLS, right?

    Nope. Not if I remember correctly.

    Found this: http://ltunlimited.typepad.com/my_we...d-aliases.html though, it seems that Alias Edit is there anyway.

    well then, woohoo to you Jingles

    And then you can type ALIASEDIT and change everything to your hearts desire!

    just a note: the one time I remember to check if its LT or not, it turns out the info is wrong. Just my luck

    Most of Express pack tools are AutoLISP routines, while this feature is disabled in LT. So, Express isn't available for LT users.

    Thanks all, TOOLS>CUSTOMIZE>EDIT PROGRAM PARAMETERS worked a charm. It wouldn't recognise ALIASEDIT for some reason.
