Quick Reference

To modify a temporary override key

1. Click Tools tab Customization panel User Interface. At the command prompt, enter cui.
2. In the Customize User Interface Editor, Customize tab, click the plus sign (+) next to Keyboard Shortcuts to expand it.
3. Click the plus sign (+) next to Temporary Override Keys to expand it.
4. In the Customizations In <file name> pane, click the temporary override key you want to modify.

   

5. Update the Properties pane as necessary:
   • In the Description box, enter a description for the temporary override key.
   • In the Key(s) box, click the […] button to open the Shortcut Keys dialog box. In the Shortcut Keys dialog box, click in the Press New Shortcut Key box to ensure the box has focus, and press a key. Under the Press New Shortcut Key box, Currently Assigned To displays any current assignments for the key. If a key you select is not already assigned, click OK.
   • In the Macro 1 (Key Down) box, enter a macro to be executed when the temporary override key is pressed. When no value is assigned, the default macro is ^c^c.
   • In the Macro 2 (Key Up) box, enter a macro to be executed when the temporary override key is released. When no value is defined, key up restores the application to its previous state (before the temporary override was executed).
