# Changing Keyboard Shortcuts

The Keyboard Shortcut catalogue shows all keyboard shortcuts for your product. Keyboard shortcuts appear in yellow text or in white text in the list:

- Yellow text: identifies shortcuts that are used everywhere in your product.
- White text: identifies keyboard shortcuts that are specific to the area you are in.

To edit a keyboard shortcut:

1. From the area where you want to use the new keyboard shortcut, open the Keyboard Shortcut Editor.
2. Select the keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard Shortcut catalogue.

   The keystroke sequence and its description appear in the Keystroke Editor fields. If you select a map-to-button keyboard shortcut, the word “Yes” appears in the Map-to-Button field.

3. Click Clear in the Keyboard Shortcut Manager area to clear the existing keystroke sequence.
4. Enter the new keystroke sequence by clicking keys in the Keystroke Editor or by pressing keys on your computer's keyboard.
5. Click Set in the Keyboard Shortcut Manager area.
6. Click Save to save the changes to the current user's Keyboard Shortcut catalogue.

   The edited keyboard shortcut is marked in the catalogue with a “Y” to show that it is user-modified.
