Create new keyboard shortcut set

You can customize keyboard shortcuts that you use in memoQ. To do it, you need to create and edit a keyboard shortcut set. A keyboard shortcut set is a collection of keyboard commands that you can use in memoQ, mostly in the translation editor (or other editing tabs).

memoQ can work with one keyboard shortcut set at a time. If you have several keyboard shortcut sets, you can choose the one you use in the Options window. Open the Options window, and choose Keyboard shortcuts. Check the check box of the keyboard shortcut set you want to use. Click OK.

You cannot edit the default keyboard shortcut set. Either you need to make a copy of it, or you need to create a new one.

Default keyboard shortcuts: Keyboard shortcut sets define different keyboard shortcuts - see the documentation about keyboard shortcuts. If you need different keyboard shortcuts, create and edit a new keyboard shortcut set.
