|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The Hotkeys tab of Keyman Configuration lets you set hotkeys for Keyman
|
|
functions, Keyman keyboards and Windows languages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Opening the Hotkeys Tab
|
|
|
|
To open the Hotkeys tab of Keyman Configuration:
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the Keyman icon , on the
|
|
Windows Taskbar near the clock.
|
|
|
|
2. From the Keyman menu, select Configuration....
|
|
|
|
3. Select the Hotkeys tab.
|
|
|
|
**Tip:**

|
|
|
|
## Setting Hotkeys
|
|
|
|
For help setting hotkeys in the Hotkeys tab of Keyman Configuration,
|
|
see: [How To - Set Hotkeys for Keyman, Keyman Keyboards and Windows Languages](../../start/hotkey_set)
|
|
|
|
**Note:**
|
|
By default, hotkeys only turn on a function or keyboard. If you prefer
|
|
hotkeys to turn on or off a function or keyboard, you can change this
|
|
behaviour in the [Options tab](options) of Keyman
|
|
Configuration. Tick \'Keyboard hotkeys toggle keyboard activation\' and
|
|
click OK.
|
|
|
|
Some hotkeys do not toggle even if this option is enabled. Only the
|
|
following hotkeys will toggle with this option enabled:
|
|
|
|
- Show On Screen Keyboard Pane
|
|
- Show Keyboard Usage Pane
|
|
- Show Font Helper Pane
|
|
- Show Character Map Pane
|
|
- Any Keyman Keyboard Hotkey
|
|
