Set General Preferences for Keys

The General Preference settings for keys affect the key mappings or bindings used to perform various functions in the Diagram Trace Utility.

Note: The Diagram Trace Utility contains a key mappings feature, which provides the ability to modify key assignments. This feature is inherited from the Eclipse Platform. The functionality of these key mappings has not been certified.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Preferences from the Window menu.

    The Preferences dialog appears.

  2. Navigate to General, Keys.

    The Keys Preferences appears in the right pane and displays a list of the default key mappings for all commands and functions.

  3. Select a command key sequence you want to change.
  4. If there is an existing command sequence, select Remove Binding.
  5. Type the key sequence you want to assign to the function in the Binding field .

    Note: If the command key sequence already exists, an asterisk (*) is placed next to the key in the Binding column.

  6. Select the options from When drop-down .
  7. Click OK.

    The Diagram Trace Utility saves the new setting and closes the Preferences dialog.

    Note: You can restore the default settings for the command by selecting the command and clicking Restore Command. To restore all keys to the default settings, Click Restore Defaults.
