title: How To - Set Hotkeys for Keyman, Keyman Keyboards and Windows Languages
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
A hotkey is a keyboard shortcut. In Keyman these are used to turn on and
|
|
off Keyman functions, Keyman keyboards and Windows languages.
|
|
|
|
To set the hotkey for a Keyman function, Keyman keyboard or Windows
|
|
language:
|
|
|
|
1. Open Keyman Configuration, from the Keyman menu in the Windows
|
|
taskbar.
|
|
|
|
2. Select the Hotkeys tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Click the hotkey link beside the function, keyboard or language. The
|
|
Change Hotkey dialog box will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Select a default hotkey or click Custom and type the hotkey you wish
|
|
to use.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If you press a single letter or Shift plus a single letter, the
|
|
hotkey will default to <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> plus the letter you pressed, in
|
|
order to avoid conflicts with standard keyboard input.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** To clear a hotkey that has been set previously, click Clear Hotkey
|
|
or press Backspace.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Be aware that you can set the hotkey to replace common Windows hotkeys (
|
|
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>V</kbd>, etc). This is not
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
5. Click OK to save your selection.
|
|
|
|
The new hotkey will now be available.
