Tech Tip: Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts in Laserfiche 8
May 23rd, 2008 Comment on this articleThe Laserfiche 8 Client offers many new features, including the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts. Customizing keyboard shortcuts gives users the freedom to use any combination of keys they want in order to execute commands quickly. Users are not forced to use default key combinations.
For example, the key combination for the Highlight Annotation is CTRL + SHIFT + H. Users can change this to CTRL + H or some other key combination that might be more comfortable for them. By default, some commands have key combinations assigned to them, but these can be reassigned according to your preference.
To customize keyboard shortcuts:
- Navigate to Tools → Options → Toolbars, and select Customize Toolbar.
- Click the Keyboard tab.
- In the Category drop-down list, select the command’s category.
- Under Commands, select the command you want to assign the shortcut to.
- Click inside the Press new shortcut key text box and press the desired keyboard combination. Then click Assign. The keyboard combination will be displayed under Key assignments.

You can reset all key assignments to their default by clicking Reset all. To remove a key assignment, click Remove.
If the key assignment is already assigned to another command, you will get a warning that the shortcut has already been assigned. You will then have the option to re-assign it to the new shortcut.
