Create a keyboard shortcut

Create your own shortcut keys, edit existing shortcuts, or select a predetermined set of shortcuts.

1

Select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Keyboard Shortcuts (Macintosh).

2

Set any of the following options and click OK:

Current Set

Allows you to choose a set of predetermined shortcuts included with Dreamweaver, or any custom set

you’ve defined. The predetermined sets are listed at the top of the menu. For example, if you are familiar with the
shortcuts found in HomeSite or BBEdit, you can use those shortcuts by choosing the corresponding predetermined
set.

Commands

Allows you to select a category of commands to edit. For example, you can edit menu commands, such

as the Open command, or code editing commands, such as Balance Braces.

To add or edit a keyboard shortcut for a code snippet, select Snippet from the Commands pop-up menu.

The command list

Displays the commands associated with the category you selected from the Commands pop-up

menu, along with the assigned shortcuts. The Menu Commands category displays this list as a tree view that
replicates the structure of the menus. The other categories list the commands by name (such as Quit Application),
in a flat list.

Shortcuts

Displays all shortcuts assigned to the selected command.

Add Item (+)

Adds a new shortcut to the current command. Click this button to add a new blank line to the

Shortcuts. Enter a new key combination and click Change to add a new keyboard shortcut for this command. You
can assign two different keyboard shortcuts for each command; if there are already two shortcuts assigned to a
command, the Add Item button does nothing.

Remove Item (-)

Removes the selected shortcut from the list of shortcuts.

Press Key

Displays the key combination you enter when you’re adding or changing a shortcut.

Change

Adds the key combination shown in the Press Key to the list of shortcuts, or changes the selected shortcut

to the specified key combination.

Duplicate Set

Duplicates the current set. Give the new set a name; the default name is the current set’s name with

the word copy appended.

Rename Set

Renames the current set.

Export as HTML File

Saves the current set in an HTML table format for easy viewing and printing. You can open the

HTML file in your browser and print the shortcuts for easy reference.

Delete Set

Deletes a set. (You cannot delete the active set.)
