On your computer or on a server? memoQ will create the keyboard shortcut set at the location shown at the top, in the Server URL box. At first, it is My Computer: memoQ will create the new keyboard shortcut set on your computer. However, you can select a server at the top, in the Server URL box. In that case, memoQ will offer to create the keyboard shortcut set on that server - if you have the permission to do so.

1. In the list of keyboard shortcut sets, select the one you need to copy.
2. Under the list of keyboard shortcut sets, click Clone.
3. The Clone keyboard shortcut set into a new resource window opens. It's the same as the Create new keyboard shortcut set window.
4. Type a name for the keyboard shortcut set. You may also type a description.

5. Click OK.

Normally, memoQ will show keyboard shortcut sets from your own computer. However, you can manage online keyboard shortcut sets from memoQ TMSs that you have access to.

To view the keyboard shortcut sets from a memoQ TMS or from a memoQ TMS cloud:

1. At the top of the Resource console window, click the Server URL dropdown.

2. Type or choose the address of the memoQ TMS, and click the Select  button.

   You may need to log in to the memoQ TMS: If you have not used the server before, the Log in to server window opens. Type your user name and password for that server, and click OK.

3. memoQ will show the keyboard shortcut sets from that server and from your computer (those never disappear).

   Online keyboard shortcut sets have the cloud or the sun icon, and the server is shown next to them:

The sun icon means that your computer has automatically downloaded the keyboard shortcut set, so that it can be used in a project without delay.

You must have permission for the keyboard shortcut sets: It is not enough to have access to the memoQ TMS. To use a keyboard shortcut set, you need at least Use permission over the keyboard shortcut set itself. If you are not sure, contact the owner of the memoQ TMS.

Now you can create or edit keyboard shortcut sets on the server, or perform other actions on them. You need permissions over the keyboard shortcut sets to do so.

Normally, memoQ shows online keyboard shortcut sets only if their server is selected in the Server URL box.

However, if you frequently use a keyboard shortcut set, you can pin it to the list. To pin an online keyboard shortcut set to the list, click the empty cell at the left of its row:

When a keyboard shortcut set is pinned to the list, it shows a pin in that cell:

When you select another server or My Computer in the Server URL box, the pinned keyboard shortcut set remains on the list.

If there are too many keyboard shortcut sets on the list, you can filter the list. At the top of the Keyboard shortcuts tab, there is a Name/description box.

Type a word or two in the Name/description box. It will narrow the list immediately to those keyboard shortcut sets that have those words in their names or descriptions.

To sort the list by a detail: Click the header of the column you need. For example, to sort the list by name, click the Name header at the top of the list.

You can export a keyboard shortcut set into an .mqres file. An .mqres file is an XML file where memoQ saves resources like keyboard shortcut sets, QA profiles, TM settings etc. These are called light resources because they don't contain a large amount of linguistic data.

To export a keyboard shortcut set:

1. In the list, select the keyboard shortcut set you need to export.
2. Under the list, click Export. A Save As window opens.

   Or: Right-click the keyboard shortcut set. From the menu, choose Export.

3. Find a folder and a name for the file, and click Save. memoQ will export all details from the keyboard shortcut set in the file.

   You can also import a keyboard shortcut set from a .mqres file. When you import an .mqres file, memoQ will always create a new keyboard shortcut set.

Because memoQ saves all kinds of resources in .mqres files, you need to make sure that your .mqres file contains a keyboard shortcut set.

To import a keyboard shortcut set from an .mqres file:

1. At the bottom of the Keyboard shortcuts tab, click Import new. An Open window appears.
2. Select the .mqres file. Click Open.
3. The Import new keyboard shortcut set window opens. It's the same as the Create new keyboard shortcut set window.
4. memoQ will pick up the name of the rule set from the .mqres file. However, you can give it a new name, and type a new description, too.
5. Click OK.

   memoQ will copy the keyboard shortcut set to your computer.

Online keyboard shortcut sets are normally published. This means that they are accessible through the memoQ TMS.
