# Creating New Local Hotkeys

You can create new map-to-button hotkeys only. You cannot create new functional hotkeys. New hotkeys are saved as a user preference.

To create a map-to-button hotkey:

1. With the Hotkey Editor open, click the menu button for which you want to create the hotkey.
   NoteIf the button you want to click is hidden by the Hotkey Editor, click the Hide Panel button.

   If the menu button you selected is a map-to-button hotkey, Yes appears in the Map to Button field, and the name of the menu button appears in the Description field.

2. Enter the new keystroke sequence by clicking keys in the Keystroke Editor, your computer's keyboard, or the keys on your pen tablet. The new keystroke appears in the Keystroke field.
3. If the menu button is a field, you can set a default value type and increment in the Value Type box and Increment field.
4. If the menu button is an option box, you can enable Cycle Pop-up to allow your new hotkey to cycle through the options each time it is pressed.
5. Click Set in the Hotkey Manager area.
6. Click Save to save the changes to the current user's Hotkey catalogue.
