Command Editor Interface

The upper half of the Command Editor displays a virtual keyboard. The lower half
contains a command list that sorts menu commands by group and offers a brief
description of each command, along with its associated keyboard shortcut, if one exists.

The virtual keyboard is color-coded to help you identify the type of command each key
performs. The Command Groups column on the left side of the Command List area
includes a clickable color key for reference.

Keys that are assigned to shortcuts are marked with a dark gray dot, while unassigned
keys have no additional markings. Several keys are shaded with diagonal lines,
indicating that they are reserved for system use.

Choosing a Command Set

By default, Aperture uses a standard set of commands, with the language choice that
you specified when you set up your computer.

To choose a command set, do one of the following:

m

Choose Aperture > Commands, then choose a set from the submenu.

m

If the Command Editor is already open, choose a set from the pop-up menu in the
upper-left corner.

Once you choose the command set you want, the keyboard shortcuts in the set
become active in Aperture.
