# Editing Local Keyboard Shortcuts

Almost every module has its own catalogue of keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard shortcuts listed in white are local keyboard shortcuts, and can be customized to suit your needs without affecting other modules. Modified keyboard shortcuts are saved as a user preference.

To edit a local keyboard shortcut:

1. In the module where you want to use the new keyboard shortcuts, access the Keyboard Shortcut Editor (Alt+Ctrl+F8).
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.

   NoteIf you enter a keystroke sequence that is already in use, an error message is displayed.
