shortcut

A keyboard shortcut uses a sequence of key strokes to perform an action that would otherwise require a mouse action. For example, typing CTRL + ALT + T achieves the same behavior as clicking the Tracer icon; the Tracer tool is launched. Keyboard shortcuts are sometimes referred to as hot keys.

The table below outlines the keyboard shortcuts supported by the Designer Studio. These shortcuts are standard and may not be disabled or overridden by your operator.

There are three categories of keyboard shortcuts:
