Integrated key shortcut utility 675

Standard keys / Classic keys

At any time you can press STANDARD KEYS to set all the command shortcuts back to the
default settings for Xara Designer Pro X.

Alternatively press Classic Keys to reset to a keyset that was used by early versions of
Xara Designer Pro X. Over time, as the product has evolved, various standard shortcuts
that are commonly used by other applications have been adopted by Xara Designer Pro
X. Those who have become familiar with Xara’s original shortcuts may prefer to use the
‘classic’ defaults instead.

Save

Use the SAVE button to save the current shortcut definitions as a ".ini" file, without
necessarily applying them so they are used by Xara Designer Pro X you to setup
different sets of shortcut assignments and allows you to share the assignments between
different computers or different users. For example, you could setup shortcut
assignments that make Designer Pro compatible with the shortcuts of another application
and save them in a .ini file so you can share them.

Load

Use the LOAD button to load the shortcuts defined in a .ini file. Once they are loaded, you
can inspect or modify them in the Shortcuts Tool or apply them to Xara Designer Pro X
OK button.

Cancel

Press the CANCEL button to discard all the shortcuts changes you have made since you
opened the Shortcuts Tool.

OK

Use the OK button to commit the changes you have made since you opened the
Shortcuts Tool. If there are any unresolved clashes, you will be told about them at this
point. You are strongly advised to go back and fix any clashes because otherwise your
chosen shortcuts may not work. Click the Back button on the warning alert to go back.
When you do this the first keypress with clashes is automatically selected for you, so you
can quickly resolve it.

If no clashes are reported when you click the OK button, your new shortcuts have been
defined successfully.
