Operation via the Keyboard

All commands and menu options are accessible from the keyboard. Press the ALT key to display the underlined access letters. To open a menu from the keyboard, press ALT and the underlined letter. To select a command or option on the menu, press another underlined letter. Alternatively, use the arrow keys to move to an option and then confirm your selection by pressing the Enter key.

Example:  To left align several objects on a control panel, select Align on the Edit menu, and then select Left. Alternatively, hold down the ALT key and press A+L. Else, press ALT+E, and then select an option, using the ê and è arrow keys. Confirm your selection by pressing <Enter>.

Important commands can also be accessed via shortcuts. The shortcuts are displayed next to commands and menu options. Enter the key combination to perform the corresponding function directly.

Example:  Hold down the Control key and then press C (CTRL+C) to copy a selected item.
