Keyboard
Shortcuts
This document lists Toon Boom Storyboard’s default keyboard shortcuts.
In this listing, each key in a sequence is inside square brackets for example, [Ctrl]+[A]. The brackets separate the key from the “+” sign; neither are part of the sequence.
To use a shortcut, press the key and the character key simultaneously. For example, in the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl]+[A] you would press the Control key and the A character key at the same time on your keyboard.
To modify a shortcut:
1. Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Toon Boom Storyboard > Preferences (Mac OS X) to open the Preferences dialog box.
2. Select the type of command from the Category drop-down list.
3. Select the specific command from the Commands list.
- To create a custom shortcut, click the shortcut, and type a new shortcut path.
- To restore a shortcut to its original keyboard combination, press the Default Value button.
- To remove the current shortcut, press the Clear button.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
If you want to restore all shortcuts to their original keyboard combinations, click the Restore All Defaults button and click OK.
