Select and customize keyboard shortcuts


 

Fireworks lets you use keyboard shortcuts to select menu commands, select tools from the Tools panel, and speed up miscellaneous tasks that do not exist as menu commands. If you are accustomed to using shortcuts from other applications such as Adobe FreeHand, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or products that use a different standard, you can switch to the shortcut set you prefer.

    Select a shortcut set

    1. Select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts (Windows) or Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts (Mac OS).

    2. Select a shortcut set from the Current Set pop-up menu, and click OK.

    Create custom and secondary shortcuts

    You can create custom keyboard shortcuts from a preinstalled set, and you can create secondary shortcuts to include several different ways to perform an action.

    The keyboard shortcuts except for menu commands cannot include modifier keys: Control, Shift, and Alt (Windows) or Command, Shift, Option, and Control (Mac OS). They must consist of a single letter or number key only.

    1. Select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts (Windows) or Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts (Mac OS).

    2. Click the Duplicate Set button.

    3. Enter a name for the custom set and click OK.

    4. Select the appropriate shortcut category from the Commands list:

      Menu Commands
      Any command accessed through the menu bar

      Tools
      Any tool on the Tools panel.

      Miscellaneous
      A range of predefined actions

    5. From the Commands list, select the command whose shortcut you want to modify.

    6. Click in the Press Key text box, and press the desired keys for the new shortcut on the keyboard.

    7. To add a secondary shortcut to the shortcut list, click the Add A New Shortcut (+) button. Otherwise, click Change to replace the selected shortcut.
