Customizing Keyboard shortcuts

Customizing Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are a good way to save time because they allow you to perform a task with a simple keyboard command instead of reaching for the mouse and selecting the appropriate item from the menu.

To change the keyboard shortcuts, choose Tools ➪ Options, expand Environment, and click Keyboard. Locate the command for which you want to change the shortcut in the list with commands.

Because this list contains many items, you can filter the list by typing a few letters from the command. For example, typing print in the Show Commands Containing field gives you a list of all print-related commands.

Next, in the Press Shortcut Keys field, type a new shortcut and click Assign. VWD allows you to enter a double shortcut key for a single command. For example, you can bind the command Close All Documents to the command Ctrl+K, Ctrl+O. To perform this command, you need to press both key combinations in rapid succession. Although a double shortcut key may seem like overkill, it greatly increases the number of available shortcut keys.
