KEY="shortcut" attribute from that menu item.key attribute on that line. If it doesn't already have a shortcut, add KEY="" anywhere inside the MENUITEM tag.KEY attribute, enter the new keyboard shortcut.
If the default keyboard shortcuts aren't convenient for you, you can change or remove existing shortcuts, or add new ones.
To change a keyboard shortcut:
| 1 | Quit Dreamweaver. |
| 2 | Make a backup copy of the menus.xml file. |
| 3 | Open menus.xml in a text editor such as BBEdit, HomeSite, or Wordpad (don't open it in Dreamweaver). |
| 4 | Look at the Keyboard Shortcut Matrix and find a shortcut that's not being used, or one that you want to reassign. (If you reassign a keyboard shortcut, cross it off on a printed copy of the matrix for future reference.) |
| 5 | If you're reassigning a keyboard shortcut, find the menu item that the shortcut is assigned to, and remove the KEY="shortcut" attribute from that menu item. |
| 6 | Find the menu item to assign the keyboard shortcut to. |
| 7 | If the menu item already has a keyboard shortcut, find the key attribute on that line. If it doesn't already have a shortcut, add KEY="" anywhere inside the MENUITEM tag. |
| 8 | Between the double quotation marks of the KEY attribute, enter the new keyboard shortcut. |
| Use a plus (+) sign between modifier keys, and between modifiers and letter keys. For more information about modifiers, see About menu item syntax. | |
| If the keyboard shortcut is in use elsewhere and you didn't remove the other use of it, the shortcut will apply only to the first menu item it's used for in menus.xml. | |
| Note: You can use the same keyboard shortcut for a Macintosh-only menu item and for a Windows-only menu item if you wish. | |
| 9 | Write your new shortcut in the appropriate location in the Keyboard Shortcut Matrix. |
