- Change the shortcut that displays in the field at the bottom of the window.
- Select Reset if you change your mind.
- Choose Reset All to reset all the shortcuts to their default settings.
NOTE to Mac Users: In some cases, you will need to use the Option (⌥) or Function (fn) key. Those shortcuts will then be placed in parentheses ( ).
