The Alias board: change the ⌘ shortcuts to suit your own fingers
Open it from エイリアス (Alias) on the ribbon, 鍵 or KEYS in the Command Line, or ⌘K.
Every ⌘ shortcut above can be changed on this board.
- ①Click the row you want to change.
- ②Press the new shortcut just as you would use it (⌘⇧C, say). A shortcut you cannot press can also be entered by clicking the keyboard map.
- ③If somebody already holds that shortcut, it is refused on the spot and you are told whose it is: “そのキーは○○が使っています” (that key belongs to ○○).
- The keyboard map on the board shows the current owners in colour: blue = somebody's shortcut / orange = a letter used by a single-key tool / pale = free. The ⌘, ⌘⇧ and ⌘⌥ toggles above it change which layer you are looking at.
- 既定 (Default) at the right of a row restores the factory shortcut; 外す (Clear) leaves it with none. (Even with no shortcut, the ribbon and the Command Line still reach it as before.)
- One job can hold up to two shortcuts (⌘N and ⌘T, for instance).
⚠️ L, C, A, D, O, U, E and F8 are single-key tools and lie outside this board (they cannot be changed).
⚠️ Punctuation keys (, . / [ ] and so on) cannot be used as shortcuts. Depending on the keyboard layout, the printed character and the physical position do not match.
The habits of Enter
- An empty Enter sometimes means “carry on as you are” (accepting a row of dimensions, running a unit scale, keeping the last text height, and so on).
- An empty Enter sometimes means “cancel” (when typing a name or a piece of text). The prompt beside the cursor tells you which it is, each time.
